In October 2014, according to provisional estimates, the Italian consumer price index for the whole nation (NIC) rose by 0.1% on both monthly and annual basis (the annual rate of change observed in September was -0.2%).<\/p>\n
The rise of inflation was mainly due to the reduction of the decline, with respect to same month of the previous year, of prices of Regulated energy products (-2.6%, from -6.6% in September 2014) \u2012 driven by the price of Gas (-5.9%, from -11.1% in September 2014) \u2012 and of Services related to communication (-1.0%, from -5.6% in the previous month).<\/p>\n
Excluding unprocessed food and energy, core inflation was 0.5% (up from +0.4% in September 2014); excluding energy, the inflation was 0.4% (0.1 higher than in September 2014).<\/p>\n
The rise on monthly basis of All items index was mainly due to the increase of prices of Gas (+4.7%) and of Electricity (+1.6%). This rise was partially balanced by the monthly decline of prices of Non-regulated energy products (-0.9%) and of Services related to transport (-0.7%), on which seasonal factors had an impact, too.<\/p>\n
The annual rate of change of prices of Goods was -0.3% (from -0.6% observed in September 2014) and the annual rate of change of prices of Services was 0.7%, up from 0.6% registered in the previous month. As a consequence, the inflationary gap between Services and Goods decreased by 0.2 percentage points with respect to September 2014.<\/p>\n
Prices of Grocery and unprocessed food held steady on monthly basis and rose by 0.1% on annual basis (in September 2014, the annual rate of change was equal to zero).<\/p>\n
In October 2014, according to preliminary estimates, the Italian harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) rose by 0.3% compared with the previous month and by 0.2% with respect to October 2013 (from -0.1% registered in September 2014). The increase on monthly basis was also due to the final end of summer sales of Clothing and footwear (+2.4% compared with September 2014) which are not taken into account in the national index NIC.<\/p>\n
Core inflation measured by Italian HICP was 0.6%, up from 0.4% in September 2014. Speed-ups of two-tenths percentage points were also registered for the inflation calculated excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco (which was 0.7%, up from 0.5% in September 2014) and for the inflation calculated excluding energy (equal to 0.5%, up from 0.3% in the previous month).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
