According to preliminary estimates, in May 2022 the rate of change of the Italian consumer price index for the whole nation (NIC) was +0.9% on monthly basis and +6.9% on annual basis (from +6.0% in April).<\/p>\n
The speed-up of the growth on annual basis of All-item index was due to the prices of several types of products: of Energy (from +39.5% to +42.2%), specifically of Non-regulated energy products (from +29.8 % to +32.4%; Regulated energy products confirmed the same wide increase of the previous month, equal to +64.3%), of Food including alcohol (from +6.1% to +7.1%), in particular of Processed food (from +5.0% to +6.8%), of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (from +2,4% to +4.4%) and of Services related to transport (from +5.1% to +6.0%).<\/p>\n
Therefore, core inflation (excluding energy and unprocessed food) was +3.3% (up from +2.4% in the previous month) and inflation excluding energy was +3.7% (up from +2.9% in April).<\/p>\n
The annual rate of change of prices of Goods was +9.7% (from +8.7% in the previous month) and that of prices of Services was +3.1% (from +2.1%). As a consequence, the inflationary gap between Services and Goods was stable and still negative (-6.6 percentage points as in April).<\/p>\n
Prices of Grocery and unprocessed food increased by 1.2% on monthly basis and by 6.7% on annual basis (up from +5.7% in the previous month).<\/p>\n
The increase on monthly basis of NIC was mainly due to the prices of Non-regulated energy products (+3.2%), of Processed food including alcohol (+1.5%), of Unprocessed food (+1.1%) and of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (+1.2%).<\/p>\n
In May 2022, according to preliminary estimates, the Italian harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) increased by 0.9% on monthly basis and by 7.3% on annual basis (from +6.3% in April).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
