These products might get more and more expensive

Food prices increased by an average of 2.4 percentage points, so the inflation of these products was 2.7 percentage points lower than for all consumer goods combined!

This is a significant improvement on the increase so far, as food has become particularly expensive during the epidemic: in August the annual price increase was 7.9 percent, in September it was 7.3 percent, in October the price of food “only” increased by 6.5 percent, and in November it increased by 6.2 percent in a year.

By December, the rate had been reduced to 4.9 per cent and to 3.9 per cent by January 2021. In February, annual food prices were up 3.4 percent. By comparison, march’s 2.7 percent, which was 1 percentage point lower than overall inflation, showed an improvement. This continued in April, when annual food price growth fell to 2.4 per cent.
