The retail price index went up by 0.08 per cent in February compared with the previous month, according to the National Statistics Office.

This primarily reflected an increase of 2.30 per cent in the clothing and footwear index, mainly due to seasonally higher prices of garments.

There was also an increase in the prices of served meals, household appliances and wines.

This was partly made up for by lower prices of vehicles, gas and jewellery.
