St. Petersburg in September “lagged behind” Russia in inflation by 0.32%

In St. Petersburg at the end of September, annual inflation showed a slight decline: from 6.06% it decreased to 6.03%. At the same time, the Northern capital is “lagging behind” by 0.32 percentage points – the average inflation in Russia is 6.35%. This is reported by DP.

Compared to August, prices in the city increased by 0.36%, but products (mainly vegetables and fruits), on the contrary, became cheaper. This is associated with the arrival of a new harvest. Cheese in St. Petersburg has been getting cheaper for two months.

Due to the weakening of the ruble, prices for imported electronics and equipment jumped. Educational services went up with them, which is a standard situation in September. Similarly, the cost of some tourism destinations has jumped due to seasonal demand.
