Slovenia recorded an annual inflation rate of 5.4% in March, a significant drop from 6.9% in February, as a 30% decline in electricity prices shaved a full percentage point off the headline rate, the Statistics Office reported.
While electricity was cheaper, prices in other major groups rose. With petrol up over 30% and diesel almost as much, oil derivatives prices contributed 1.2 percentage points to the overall inflation rate. Food, almost 7% more expensive, added another point.
