Consumer prices went up most from the previous year due to increase in rents, retail prices of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages and higher prices of restaurant and café services as well as price hike in flat maintenance services, the data show.
The rise in consumer prices was curbed most in November by falling prices of food, liquid fuels and entertainment electronics from the year before.
Consumer prices fell by 0.2 per cent, primarily due to decreases in the prices of liquid fuels and food from October to November as calculated by Statistics Finland.
