DUBLIN, May 11 (Reuters) - Annual Irish inflation slowed
to its lowest level in a year, with the consumer price index
(CPI) easing to 7.2% in April from 7.7% in March in line with
flash estimates, Central Statistics Office data showed on
Thursday.
Last month's flash estimate for the EU-standard Harmonised
Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) showed that core inflation - the
measure that excludes energy and unprocessed food - rose 5.3%
year-on-year in Ireland in April compared to 6.2% in March.
Ireland's finance ministry last month revised down its
inflation estimate for 2023 to 4.9% and forecast a figure of
2.5% next year.
