Bulgaria's consumer price inflation accelerated slightly in December to the highest level in five months, data from the National Statistical Institute showed on Wednesday.
The consumer price index, or CPI, climbed 2.2 percent year-over-year in December, after a 2.1 percent rise in November.
Moreover, the latest inflation was the highest since July, when prices had risen 2.4 percent.
The annual price growth in housing and utilities accelerated to 2.8 percent from 2.5 percent. Meanwhile, the decline in transport costs eased to 0.6 percent from 3.4 percent. Both these developments largely pushed the inflation higher in December.
