According to central government, it could close at the end of 2008 at under 3 percent provided that the cost of fuel continues its low level trend and that there are no new surprises..
According to a report published yesterday by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) consumer prices in October rose four decimal points in relation to September, although the year-on-year figure fell by 9 decimal points to 3.6 percent, settling at the same level as a year ago.
