In October 2015, according to preliminary estimates, the Italian consumer price index for the whole nation (NIC) rose by 0.2% compared with the previous month and by 0.3 with respect to October 2014, up from 0.2 in September 2015.<\/p>\n
The slight speed up of the inflation was mainly due to the further increase of prices of Unprocessed food (+4.2%, from +3,3% in September 2015) and of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (+1.5%, from +1.1% in the previous month). These increases are partially offset by the further decrease of Regulated energy products (-2.0%, from -1.1% in October 2015) due to the wider decline of price of Gas \u00a0(-3.2%, from -0.5 in the previous month) .<\/p>\n
Excluding energy and unprocessed food, core inflation was stable at 0.8%; excluding energy, the inflation rose by 1.1 (0.2 percentage points higher than in the previous month).<\/p>\n
The increase on monthly basis of All items index was mainly due to the rise of prices of Electricity (+2.9%), of Gas (+1.9%) and of Unprocessed food (+0.8%); these increases were partially balanced by the monthly decline of prices of Non-regulated energy products (-0.8%) and of Services related to transport (-0.7%).<\/p>\n
The annual rate of change of prices of Goods was -0.4% (from -0.5% observed in September 2015) and the annual rate of change of prices of Services was +1.0% (up from +0.9% in the previous month). As consequence, the inflationary gap between Services and Goods held steady with respect to September 2015.<\/p>\n
Prices of Grocery and unprocessed food increased by 0.3% on monthly basis and by 1.5% on annual basis (up from 1.2% in the previous month) .<\/p>\n
In October 2015, according to preliminary estimates, the Italian harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) rose by 0.5 compared with the previous month and by 0.3% with respect to October 2014 (up from +0.2% registered in September 2015).<\/p>\n
Core inflation measured by Italian HICP was 1.0%, up from 0.8% in September 2015; also excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, the inflation was 1.0% (up from 0.8 in the previous month). Excluding energy, the inflation increased to 1.3% (also in this case 0.2 percentage points higher than in September 2015).<\/p>\n
