Figures released by the CSO this morning show that the the consumer price index rose by 0.1 per cent last month. This compares to a 0.4 per cent jump between March and April, and a 0.9 per cent in the previous two months.
The annual rate of inflation now stands at 2.7 per cent - meaning that prices were 2.7 per cent higher last month than they were in May 2010. However, this is lower than the annual inflation rate of 3.2 per cent recorded in April.
