Euro-area inflation held steady last month and exports rebounded in August as European leaders struggled to contain the region’s fiscal crisis.
The inflation rate in the 17-member currency region remained at 2.6 percent from a year ago, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today. It had previously reported an annual gain of 2.7 percent. Euro-area exports rose 3.7 percent from July, when they fell 2.2 percent, a separate report showed.
