The result is below the European Central Bank’s target rate of near, but under, 2.0%. March’s reading reflected lower price pressures from food, alcohol and tobacco products along with services.

Core inflation, which excludes out volatile energy and unprocessed foods prices, is also estimated to have fallen, coming in at 1.0% in March (February: 1.2%).
