In August 2024, the monthly inflation rate reached 0.28%, reflecting an increase from the 0.24% recorded in July. This rise in inflation is primarily attributed to the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages category, which saw a 0.34% increase due to higher prices of vegetables, legumes, and tubers. Additionally, the transportation category exhibited the highest variation, with a 0.63% increase, driven by rising costs in road passenger transport, particularly interprovincial bus fares.
