On the contrary, the prices of Services related to transport (from +2.5% to +1.9%), of Services related to communication (from +1.1% to +0.5%) and of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (from +3.3% to +3.1%) slowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2025, core inflation (excluding energy and unprocessed food) decreases, as does inflation excluding energy (both year on year growth rate drop from +1.8% to +1.7%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Goods, the year on year growth rate was +1.1% (from +0.7% in January) and for Services the annual rate of change was +2.4% (down from +2.6%).
