February prices climb 0.20%, brake 4-month lull

Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s Central Bank on Wednesday said February prices climbed 0.20% compared with January, braking four months of negative inflation.

It said annual inflation, from February 2014 to February 2015 was 1.02%, “significantly lower than the annualized rate of 2.84% verified at the end of February 2014.”

The Central Bank said lower costs of transport and housing had a positive impact in February’s low inflation.
