    [02] Greek inflation at 3.9% in Dec

    <!--ÔëòüìòñÞüìòGreece's annual inflation rate rose to 3.9 percent in December, compared with the same month in 2006, the National Statistical Service said on Thursday.

    The service, in a monthly report, said the inflation rate - measured by the consumer's price index - rose 0.4 pct in December from November 2007.

    NSS attributed the 3.9-pct increase of the inflation rate to a 4.8-pct increase in the food and beverage prices index, a 3.1-pct rise in clothing and footwear, a 8.7-pct increase in housing prices, a 4.7-pct rise in transportation prices, a 4.6-pct increase in education prices, a 4.4-pct rise in cafe/restaurant prices and a 2.5-pct increase in other goods and services.

    Greece's harmonised inflation rate also rose to 3.9 pct in December. Manolis Kontopyrakis, NSS' secretary-general, added that any forecast over the course of the inflation rate in 2008 would be groundless due to volatility in international oil prices.
