Inflation in Greece is estimated to have fallen slightly to 3% in February, from 3.1% in January, according to a preliminary estimate released on Monday by Eurostat.<\/p>\n

This is the European Union-harmonized index, that often differs slightly to the national consumer price index that the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) publishes.<\/p>\n

Food inflation in Greece was 0.5% in February, the lowest in the eurozone, Eurostat reported on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Development said in a statement that the fact Greece has the bloc\u2019s lowest food inflation has been the result of ongoing efforts, including intensive market controls and clear operational rules.<\/p>\n

It added that it remains committed to preserving healthy competition and consumer protection to increase citizens\u2019 disposable income.<\/p>\n

The average rate of food inflation in the eurozone amounted to 2.7% last month, Eurostat said. The annual inflation in the euro area is seen at 2.4% in February, down from 2.5% in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
