    NOTE: The average rate of inflation over the past 12 months 
was 2.1 percent in July. 
    The statistics office updated the basket of goods and 
services used to calculate the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as of 
January 2007, rebasing it to 2005 and raising the weight of 
housing as well as transport costs at the expense of foodstuffs. 
    Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted that month-on-month 
consumer prices rose in July by 0.5 percent, which would have 
put the year-on-year inflation rate at 2.6 percent
