Czech consumer price growth in July lagged the central bank's (CNB) forecast chiefly due to a lower rise in foreign holiday prices than seen...

...in traditional seasonal patterns, the CNB said in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement said food prices and regulated prices grew at a slightly faster rate than the CNB had forecast, and that tax changes had a slightly higher impact than expected. Fuel prices developed in line with the CNB's forecast, the statement said.

Data released earlier on Wednesday showed inflation ebbed to a four-month low in July, confounding market expectations of a further quickening and weakening the case for another interest rate rise as early as this month [ID:nL08145120].
