Eurozone inflation up, unemployment steady: Eurostat

31 Oct, 2014

BRUSSELS: Eurozone inflation has come off multi-year lows while the jobless figures are little changed, official data showed on Friday, providing only limited reassurance that a modest economic recovery remains on track.

Inflation in the 18-nation eurozone rose to 0.4 percent in October from 0.3 percent in September, which was the lowest in five years, the Eurostat statistics agency said. The unemployment rate in September was 11.5 percent, unchanged compared with August.
