BRUSSELS, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The consumer price index in the 17-member eurozone region for September rose to 3 percent on an annual basis, the European Union's data office said Friday.
The estimate, which shows an increase from an annual rate of 2.5 percent in August, is considered a flash estimate.
