(RTTNews) - Eurozone inflation grew at a slightly slower than initially estimated pace in November, revised data published by Eurostat showed on Wednesday.

The previous change was a reduction by the same volume in October following a similar cut in September.

Among the main components, services inflation slowed to 3.9 percent from 4.0 percent. Energy prices declined for a fourth month in a row, down 2.0 percent following a 4.6 percent slump in the previous month.

Prices of food, alcohol and tobacco rose 2.7 percent after a 2.9 percent increase in October. Non-energy industrial goods prices were 0.6 percent higher after a 0.5 percent gain.

Month-on-month, the HICP slid 0.3 percent in November.

European Union annual inflation was 2.5 percent in November, which was up from 2.3 percent in October. The lowest annual rates were registered in Ireland, Lithuania and Luxembourg. Meanwhile, the highest rates were seen in Romania, Belgium and Croatia.
