South korea: South Korea's consumer prices rose by 2 percent in February compared to the same month last year, remaining consistent with the previous month's figures and aligning with the government's inflation target, as revealed by government data on Friday. This stability in consumer prices is the lowest year-on-year increase since August, when the growth rate was recorded at 1.7 percent.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the data indicates that this marks the second consecutive month that inflation has met the 2 percent target set by the Bank of Korea. This consistency highlights the central bank's success in maintaining its inflation target, which is crucial for economic planning and stability.
