Slovak cbank says May inflation below its forecast

...may rise in June, the NBS said on 
Thursday. 
    Consumer prices were flat in May, month-on-month, putting 
the annual inflation rate at a record low of 1.5 percent, the 
Statistics Office said earlier on Thursday. 
    The NBS did not reveal its May inflation forecast, and it 
did not comment on possible monetary policy implications. 
    "Annual inflation dynamics could accelerate in June, 
compared with May, mainly due to expected developments with fuel 
prices, while prices in other groups of the basic inflation 
structure should stagnate on the annual basis," the NBS said.
