Slovak c.bank says Oct inflation above its fcast

...the NBS said on 
Thursday. 
    Rising food prices lifted annual Slovak EU-norm inflation to 
2.4 percent in October from 1.7 percent in September 
, according to data published earlier on Thursday. 
    The NBS said annual inflation should slow in November, 
mainly thanks to the fading impact of last year's increase in 
regulated energy prices from statistics. 
    However, the central bank still expects November data to 
show rising food and petrol prices. 
    The NBS did not reveal its October inflation prediction, nor 
did it comment on possible implications for monetary policy 
settings.
