Decrease in food inflation
The inflation rate in the "household appliances" group was reported at 6 percent, "hotels and restaurants" at 5.6 percent, "health and medical" at 5.2 percent, and "housing" at 3.3 percent. Among these, the food group recorded the lowest inflation rate of 2.2 percent in September. This downward trend in food inflation began in Bahman 1404 and gradually reached 2.2 percent in September.
Reviewing the food inflation rates in recent months, it can be observed that this rate decreased from 15.5 percent in Bahman 1404 to 8.6 percent in Esfand, 5.5 percent in Farvardin 1405, 7.8 percent in Ordibehesht, and 6.8 percent in Khordad. This trend indicates the efforts made to control prices and improve economic conditions.
In Tir, the food inflation rate decreased to 2.5 percent and reached 3.6 percent in Mordad. However, in September, with another decrease to 2.2 percent, this group became one of the least inflationary sectors. These results are promising for the government's and relevant institutions' efforts to control prices and improve people's living conditions.
Overall, the decrease in food inflation can lead to an improvement in people's purchasing power and a reduction in economic pressures. These changes can help increase public confidence and improve the overall economic situation of the country.
