Slovak cbank says April CPI slightly above fcast

...Monthly inflation stood at 0.3 percent in April, putting 
year-on-year price growth at 2.0 percent, the Statistics Office 
said earlier on Wednesday. 
    The NBS did not say what level of price growth it had 
expected and did not comment on possible monetary policy 
implications of the figures. 
    "The annual inflation dynamics should slow down in May 
compared with April due to expected developments in food and 
fuel prices," the bank said in a statement. 
    "Prices of services could also register a deceleration of 
year-on-year (growth) dynamics," it added.
