LISBON (Reuters) - Portuguese consumer prices rose 9.9% year-on-year in November, slowing down slighly from the 10.1% reported in the previous month, flash data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed on Wednesday.
October prices increase was the fastest in 30 years.
Still, core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 7.2% year-on-year, its fastest pace since December 1993, and up from a reading of 7.1% in October.
The economic fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has fueled inflation worldwide, especially through increasing prices of energy and grains.
