Korea's consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.3% year-on-year in February 2005, said the country's National Statistical Office (NSO).
The figure is in line with the government's target of 3%, and reflects that consumer prices have been stabilizing after increasing 4.8% in August 2004.
The rise in prices of oil and agricultural and industrial products contributed to the annual increase in consumer prices.
Public services prices and continuing high oil prices could pose a risk for March consumer prices.
