On a monthly basis, consumer prices dropped at a faster pace of 0.8 percent in November, following a 0.1 percent slight fall in October. It was the second successive monthly decline.
The EU measure of inflation, or HICP edged down at a stable pace of 0.1 percent annually in November, in line with expectations.
Monthly, the harmonized index of consumer prices decreased 0.7 percent in November, after a 0.2 percent drop in the preceding month.
