Consumer prices climbed 3.0 percent year-over-year in July, faster than the 2.6 percent rise in June. Meanwhile, economists had expected the inflation to remain stable at 2.6 percent.

Moreover, this was the highest inflation since December 2016, when prices had grown 3.5 percent.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.7 percent in July versus the expected rise of 0.3 percent.

Another report from the statistical office showed that producer price inflation quickened to 22.6 percent in July from 20.0 percent in June. Monthly, producer prices went up 1.1 percent.
