The ASK detailed that the most significant increase was recorded in the transport sector, which rose by 13.7 percent.
Following this, alcoholic beverages saw a price increase of 3.9 percent. The agency attributed the overall rise in prices to several key COICOP groups.

Further increases were noted in health (4.1 percent) and non-alcoholic food and beverages (3.9 percent). Conversely, the report noted a decrease in prices within the educational services group. Overall, the data provides a detailed breakdown of the inflationary pressures across various sectors, with the transport category contributing notably to the overall inflation rate measured by the percent change in prices.
