SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's consumer prices rose 2.1% in July from a year earlier, slightly slower than the rise of 2.2% in June, government data showed on Tuesday.
On a monthly basis, the consumer price index rose 0.2%, the fastest in four months, after no change in the previous month.
The numbers were roughly in line with median forecasts of 2.13% and 0.22% tipped in a Reuters poll of economists.
