In the Ivanovo region, annual inflation decreased to 6.12%

In August, prices in the Ivanovo region decreased by 0.22% compared to the previous month. At the same time, the annual inflation rate fell to 6.12%, which is below the all-Russian level of 6.33%, follows from the data of the Bank of Russia.

In the food market, the dynamics were heterogeneous. Seasonal demand associated with household billets led to an increase in the cost of sugar. Some cereals, including buckwheat, also increased prices. One of the reasons was the reduction in the area of crops and the expected decrease in the buckwheat harvest.

At the same time, the seasonal harvest of vegetables contributed to a decrease in prices for a number of products. In particular, potatoes, cabbage and beets became cheaper.

The value of non-food items has changed little overall. At the same time, fuel fell after the measures taken by the authorities to provide the market with the necessary volumes. Against the backdrop of the summer weakening of the ruble, on the contrary, prices for computers and mobile phones increased.

In the service sector, there was a general decrease in cost. In particular, it became cheaper to rest inside the country.
