The increase on monthly basis of All items index was mainly due to the rise of prices of Non-regulated energy products (+3.0%), of Unprocessed food (+2.9%) and of Regulated energy products (+1.3%); these increases were partially offset by the monthly decrease of prices and of Services related to transport (-1.7%).<\/p>\n
