In December 2022, the national consumer price index for the entire community (Nic), gross of tobacco, is estimated to increase by 0.3% on a monthly basis and by 11.6% on an annual basis (from +11.8% in the previous month).
Istat communicates it, confirming the preliminary estimate.
On average, in 2022 consumer prices will grow by 8.1% (+1.9% in 2021), marking the largest increase since 1985 (when it was +9.2%), mainly due to the trend of energy prices.
The acquired inflation for 2023 (i.e. the average growth that would occur in the year if prices remained stable throughout 2023) is equal to +5.1%.
This was communicated by Istat confirming the preliminary estimate on consumer prices in the month of last December.
