Little fluctuation in food prices is good news in fight to control inflation
The Central Statistical Office (GUS) has announced that in the first part of
June the price of food and non-alcoholic drinks rose by 0.2%, when compared
with prices for the second part of May. However, prices are down by 0.3%
compared with the first part of May. Because of these relatively small
changes in prices, up or down, analysts believe inflation for the whole of
June will remain at 10%, or be up by only 0.1% to 0.2 %. The higher prices
for grain products has been balanced by lower prices for fruit (down 13.6%),
vegetables (down 15%), eggs (down 2.1 % ), and oils and other fats (down
1%). (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 2) A.D.
