Compared to April, there was an average increase in prices of +0.4%; for Italy the figure is +0.2% as communicated by Istat on May 31st.

Inflation Terni, food products increase
This surge pushes the inflation calculated for food products alone (on an annual basis) to +3.1, meaning that the inflation of the Food and non-alcoholic beverages division is over 5 times higher than the general one (+0, 6%). Since the shopping cart is a predominant element in family spending, this data certainly impacts families.
In particular, among food products, strong increases were noted in the price of fruit, especially seasonal, summer fruit. Compared to May last year, the prices of peaches, cherries and apricots increased by more than 30-40%. The price increases for vegetables are more limited (+2.6%): tomatoes, for example, cost less than last year but aubergines, salad and carrots are more expensive.
