The inflation rate was previously thought to remain at the same level as in February, i. e. at 2,2%. These prognoses were formulated based on the earlier data from euro zone, however. The inflation rate there slowed down from 2% to 1,5% y/y. The cause for the lower inflation is predicted to be the march reduction on the price of oil. This makes it so that, even though the fuels are more expensive than one year ago, the growth of their prices was lower than in February.
