FED: Swan says inflation expected to ease further

Federal Treasurer WAYNE SWAN says inflation pressures are expected to moderate further
as the global financial crisis continues to weigh on the economy.

Figures released today show annual consumer price inflation has eased to its lowest
level in 18 months.

The CPI for the March quarter shows annual inflation was 2.5 per cent compared with
3.7 per cent in the year to December 2008.

It had touched 5.0 per cent in the 12 months to September 2008.
