Something little used with the prices of the family basket happened in June, when two months in a row were completed in which the set of goods and services price dropped.
But,which were the products that became cheaper during this month, according to the Dane report? There are different ways of looking at it, because in statistics all these goods and services can be grouped into divisions, groups, classes or subclasses.
In the most detailed classification published by the Dane, that of subclasses, there are 188 lines, while the thickest classification, that of divisions, consists of 12 lines. In the latter, there are categories such as education, health or clothing and footwear, while in the more detailed categories such as payments for homework consultations, consultations with specialists, or children’s footwear are observed.
Within the 188 subclasses, 92 of them had price increases, 28 remained unchanged in value for the month, while those that dropped in price were 68. However, among those that fell in price, there were products that weighed more on expenses or had more significant reductions, which allowed, as a whole, the family basket was reduced during the month of June.
