Deceleration of inflation in 2020
In December 2020 and compared to last month, the Household Final Consumer Price Index increased by 0.1% after -0.1% last month, mainly due to the increase in the prices of clothing and footwear (+0.5% after +0.3% last month) and food products (+0.1% after -0.4% last month).
Compared to the same period in 2019, the general price level increased by 1.4% after +1.6% last month. This year-on-year price change is largely due to the increase in the prices of food products (+3.4% after +4.1% the previous month), as well as furniture, household items and routine household maintenance (+1.8% after +2.1% the previous month).
