Slovakia's consumer price inflation accelerated for the first time in three months in April amid higher fuel prices, figures from the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic showed on Thursday.
Consumer prices rose 3.9 percent annually in April, faster than the 3.5 percent increase in March. Inflation was expected to remain stable at 3.5 percent.
The upward trend in inflation was due to higher housing and energy prices and the sharpest rise in motor fuel prices in almost three-and-a-half years, the agency said.
