Ecuador Records Second Month Of Deflation
Ecuador has registered its second consecutive month of deflation. Official figures for June just released show deflation of 0.23%, after a decline in prices of 0.14% in May. The fall in consumer prices was attributed in large part to retail promotions; government officials deny it signals a recession. The government has targeted inflation this year of 3.1%. Inflation to May was running at 1.54%.
