Italy's annual inflation rate fell to 2.9% in July from 3% in June, Istat on Wednesday.
    The national statistics agency revised up its definitive figure after putting the inflation figure for July at 2.9% in its provisional estimate.
    "The slight slowdown in inflation reflects the price dynamics of non-regulated energy products (from +13.3% to +11.4%), of unprocessed food (from +4.4% to +3.6%) and of miscellaneous services (from +2.5% to +1.8%)," Istat said.
    Istat said its consumer price index was up by 0.3% in month-on-month terms.
