Holidays in Tunisia are 2 percent cheaper now than this time last year

We have already written numerous articles about inflation due to runaway prices, now we were wondering which products and services became cheaper in August 2022 compared to the previous month and the previous August. Although the Central Statistical Office reports the changes in the average consumer price of certain items on a monthly basis, the office warns against comparing them to each other – the prices of season tickets, for example, show a decrease, although – due to a change in methodology – only the BKK season ticket in the capital moved from one row to another . Moreover, the list is not complete: the CSO examines the rate of inflation through a representative collection of a thousand items. We contacted the office with a request for data: we were interested in how the price indices of each representative changed in the last month of the summer compared to one month or one year earlier.
