Federal
Statistical Office reported on Thursday the Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI)
was flat m-o-m in September following
no change in August. That was in line with economists’ forecasts.
According to
the report, gains in prices for clothing, footwear and other fruits
(grapes and melons) were offset by declines in prices for international package
holidays, hotel accommodation and airfares.
In y-o-y terms,
Swiss CPI fell 0.8 percent in September after a 0.9 percent decline in August,
also matching economists’ expextations.
