Hungary's consumer price inflation increased for the first time in nine months in March, the Hungarian Central Statistical Office said on Wednesday.
Consumer prices climbed 1.8 percent year-on-year in March, following the 1.4 percent rise in February.
The slight rise in inflation was largely driven by clothing and footwear costs, which grew at a faster pace of 1.4 percent annually versus a 0.7 percent increase in February. Inflation based on fuel and power also rose slightly to 4.3 percent from 4.2 percent.
