Health and personal care (1.24%) also showed relevant price increases, driven by the increase in health plans (2.99%), and by transport (0.57%).
Among the items that put pressure on transport are diesel oil (3.82%), vehicular gas (0.30%) and airline tickets (18.33%).
Other groups had the following inflation rates: clothing (1.67%), household items (0.55%), housing (0.41%), personal expenses (0.49%), communication (0.16% ) and education (0.09%).
