That’s according to data released by Statec, Luxembourg’s statistics agency, on 6 November.

Petroleum products were 0.5%-1% cheaper last month than in September 2019 and down by 6.1% compared to October 2018.

Other price drops were recorded last month for packaged holidays and airline tickets (-4.1% compared to September 2019), telecommunications (-0.9%) and food products (-0.3%), Statec stated.

On the other hand, alcoholic beverages and cigarettes gained 0.14%, rents rose 0.5%, and newspapers and periodicals were up 1.85% month-over-month.

In a separate report, Statec forecast an inflation rate of 1.7% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020. Nevertheless the next round of indexation--automatic rises in wages and pension payments meant to keep pace with inflation--“remains planned for before the end of 2019.”
