Excluding crude oil and mineral oil products, import prices grew 2.1 percent from the previous year.

Month-on-month, import prices decreased 0.2 percent, reversing a 0.5 percent rise in June. This was the first fall in five months. Economists had forecast prices to remain flat in July.

Data showed that export prices advanced at a slightly faster rate of 1.9 percent in July after rising 1.8 percent in June. On month, export prices remained flat after rising 0.3 percent in June.
