Both core inflation (excluding energy and unprocessed food) and inflation excluding energy were +0.8% (respectively from +0.6% and +0.7%).<\/p>\n
The growth on monthly basis was mainly due to the increase of prices of Processed food including alcohol (+1.0%) and of Unprocessed food (+0.8%), partially offset by the decrease of prices of Regulated energy products (-0.4%) and of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (-0.5%).<\/p>\n
The annual rate of change of prices of Goods was +0.1% (from zero) and that one of prices of Services was +1.0% (the same as in the previous month). As a consequence, the inflationary gap between Services and Goods was still positive and equal +0.9 percentage points (+1.0 in December).<\/p>\n
Prices of Grocery and unprocessed food increased by +0.9% on monthly basis and +0.6% on annual basis (the same as in the previous month).<\/p>\n
