0.3 percent annual deflation recorded in Lithuania

In 2014, consumer goods got cheaper by 1.1 percent, while prices of services grew by 2.4 percent. Annual deflation in December is a rather rare phenomenon. Since 1991, Lithuania has seen annual deflation only two times: in 2002 (1 percent) and in 2003 (1.3 percent).

Average annual inflation calculated in terms of harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) amounted to 0.2 percent and was by 1 percentage point lower than in 2013 and by 0.4 percentage point smaller than in the European Union.
