Italian inflation dropped to 1.1% in August - Istat

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 16 - Italy's annual inflation rate was 1.1% in August, down from 1.3% in July, Istat said on Monday, confirming its preliminary estimate.
    The national statistics agency said the drop was driven by a decrease in the prices of non-regulated energy products, which went from -6.0% to -8.6%.
    It said its consumer-price index was 0.2% with respect to July.
    In August 2024, core inflation (excluding energy and unprocessed food) was stable at 1.9%, Istat said. (ANSA).
