The INE report also showed how consumer price inflation figures for February remained the same as January, at 2.0%.

Month on Month, the harmonized index of consumer prices remained static, compared to a forecast by a number of economists that a 0.1% was expected.

However, consumer prices increased by 1.1%, following a 1.1% decrease in January.
