The CPI rose 1.9 percent year-on-year and fell 0.1 percent on a monthly basis in November. The figures matched the preliminary estimates.
In October, CPI inflation was 2 percent. The slight decrease of the inflation rate in November is largely due to energy prices.
Energy prices rose 3.8 percent year-on-year in November, which is a smaller increase than in the months before. Not considering energy prices, the rate of inflation has remained constant at 1.6 percent.
