The inflation rate remained stable at 6.7% in September 2024, according to a note published on Saturday by the National Statistics Institute (INS), dedicated to the consumer price index for September 2024.
This stability can be explained, on the one hand, by the acceleration in the year-on-year rate of increase in food prices (9.2% in September compared with 8.5% in August) and in the prices of the “recreation and culture” group (7% in September compared with 5.8% in August) and, on the other hand, by the slowdown in the rate of increase in the “clothing and footwear” group (9.7% in September compared with 9.9% in August) and in the “alcoholic beverages and tobacco” group (0.3% in September compared with 5.4% in August).
