South Korea's consumer prices continued to grow at a slow pace in November, posting a little more than zero-percent growth for the second consecutive month. 

According to Statistics Korea on Wednesday, the consumer price index gained point-six percent on-year last month from a year earlier.

The reading follows point-one percent growth recorded in October, the lowest gain in four months due to state subsidies for mobile phone bills.

Prices of agricultural, livestock and fisheries products jumped eleven-point-one percent on-year in November.

Industrial goods prices, however, dropped point-nine percent on-year, while prices of gas, water and electricity slipped four-point-one percent from a year earlier.
