It is the highest inflation rate in eight months,
with prices rising at a faster pace for recreation and culture (3.6% vs 3% in October),
mostly admission fees to live music events and theaters and computer games;
housing and utilities (3% vs 2.9%), particularly actual rents for housing; and food and non-alcoholic beverages (2% vs 1.9%).
In addition, transport prices fell much less (-0.9% vs -1.9%) as upward effects from motor fuels and second-hand cars were partially offset by a downward effect from air fares.
Meanwhile, services inflation was steady at 5%.

The core CPI rose 3.5% on the year from 3.3% in October but below forecasts of 3.6%.
