According to the Central Bank, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was down just a fraction in February (0.03%) in relation to January. Inflation for the first two months of the year, according to the Central Bank, was just 1.06%. A major factor in the decrease in the index was a series of lower prices for food, drinks and tobacco, which is a third of the CPI.
