Greek import price index down 8.9 pct in May
Greece's import price index in the industrial sector fell 8.9 pct in May compared with the same month in 2014, after an 1.4 pct decline recorded in the corresponding period last year, Hellenic Statistical Authority said on Wednesday.
The statistics service, in a report, attributed this development in the so-called imported inflation to a 0.4 pct decline in the import price index from Eurozone countries and to a 15.3 pct drop in the import price index from countries outside Eurozone.
The index grew 0.7 pct in May from April, after a 0.4 pct increase recorded in the same period last year.
