The main reason for the CPI increase was the increase in the price index of the housing, electricity, water, fuel and construction materials group, concentrated in items such as household electricity due to the prolonged hot weather leading to increased demand for electricity by people, and kerosene increased by 3.66%. The increase in the food and catering services group and the household equipment and appliances group was partly due to the impact of the "water splash" phenomenon following salary increases.
