The decrease of the growth on annual basis of All-item index was mainly due to the prices of Non-regulated energy products (from -10.3% to -13.9%), of Services related to transport (from +4.5% to +2.7%) and, to a lesser extent, of Services miscellaneous (from +2.3% to +1.8%), of Non-durable goods (from +2.0% to +1.5%), of Unprocessed foods (from +2.6% to +2.2%) and of Processed food (including alcohol and tobacco) (from +2.8% to 2.5%). On the contrary, the prices of Tobacco (from +1.9% to +3.3%), of Services related to recreation, including repair and personal care (from +3.2% to +3.8%) and of Regulated energy products (from -13.8% to -1.3%) increased.<\/p>\n

As for Goods, the year on year growth rate was -0.6% (from -0.2% in March) and for Services the annual rate of change was +2.9% (from +3.0%). As a consequence, the inflationary gap between Services and Goods increased (from +3.2 percentage points in March to +3.5).<\/p>\n
The prices of Grocery and unprocessed food increased by 0.1% on monthly basis and by 2.3% on annual basis (down from +2.6% in the previous month).<\/p>\n
