The annual rate of inflation in the eurozone remained unchanged in August despite a drop in energy prices, the EU's official statistics agency said Thursday.
Consumer prices reached 5.3 percent in August, even though there was also a slowdown in the rise of food and drinks costs. A consensus forecast by analysts compiled by FactSet and Bloomberg had predicted a slight drop in consumer prices to 5.1 percent.
