Summary

The CPI annual rate moved from 1.3% in January to 1.6% in February 2017, mainly due to the acceleration of the prices of Food and non-alcoholic beverages. The annual core inflation rate, which excludes energy and unprocessed food products components, was 0.6% (0.5% in the previous month).
The CPI monthly rate was -0.2% (-0.6% in the previous month and -0.4% in February 2016), while the CPI
