OTTAWA, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Canada's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.9 percent on a year-over-year basis in June, up from a 1.7 percent increase in May, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.
Headline inflation grew at a faster pace, as gasoline prices fell to a lesser extent in June than in May, said the national statistical agency, adding that faster price growth for some durable goods, such as passenger vehicles and furniture, put upward pressure on the CPI in June.
The CPI excluding energy remained higher than the CPI in June, partly due to the removal of consumer carbon pricing in April, said the agency.
On a monthly basis, the CPI rose 0.1 percent in June, said Statistics Canada. ■
