In the Kirov region, the price growth has accelerated: what has become more expensive and what has become cheaper.

      According to Rosstat, in July consumer prices in the Kirov region increased by 0.9% compared to June. The annual inflation in the region was 7.5%.

      The prices of a number of products and equipment rose the most over the month. In particular, prices for sugar increased — traditionally, its stocks decrease during this period, and the new crop of sugar beets is processed later.

      The cost of meat products also increased. As noted by the Bank of Russia, producers and suppliers passed on the increased costs to prices. For the same reason, flash drives, smartphones, and personal computers became more expensive.

      However, some goods, on the contrary, became cheaper. Prices for cucumbers and tomatoes significantly decreased due to a seasonal increase in their supply. Dairy products also became cheaper — against the backdrop of rising milk yields. The decrease in prices for chicken eggs is related to the seasonal increase in production.

      In addition, prices for used foreign cars decreased in the region. This was influenced by a slowdown in consumer demand. Trips to the resorts of the Black Sea coast also became cheaper — due to a seasonal decrease in demand.

      For comparison, the annual inflation in Russia in July was about 6%. The Bank of Russia continues to conduct monetary policy aimed at reducing inflation and ensuring it is close to the target level of 4%.
