Consumer prices in Estonia rose 0.3% in August from July, according to a preliminary estimate from Statistics Estonia.

The harmonized consumer price index, which includes spending by tourists, stood 1.3% higher than in August of the previous year. Unlike Estonia’s standard consumer price index, the harmonized measure uses a consumption structure that also accounts for tourists’ purchases and allows international comparison through the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices.
