The Community is one of the nine autonomies in which prices exceed two figures in the third month of the year
Prices continue to skyrocket. Inflation reached 10% in the Region of Murcia in March compared to the same period of the previous year, according to data made official this Wednesday by the National Institute of Statistics. The CPI closed the month of March above two figures, mainly due to the increase in the cost of electricity (9.3%) and fuel (13%), which have been aggravated by the conflict in Ukraine.
Despite these being the sectors in which prices rise the most, the citizens of the Region of Murcia also spend much more than a year ago when filling the shopping basket. Food and non-alcoholic beverages, together with those with alcohol and tobacco, are the two parameters that rise the most after fuel and electricity (3.7 and 3.4%).
Inflation in the Community (10%) exceeds the national average recorded at the end of the third month of the year (9.8%). The Region of Murcia registers the seventh highest increase in prices by autonomous community, below that experienced in Castilla-La Mancha (11.7%); Castile and León (11%); La Rioja (10.6%); Galicia (10.5%) and the Valencian Community and Cantabria (10.2%).
The CPI grew by 3% in March in the Region of Murcia compared to February. Thus, prices continue to rise in the Community, as in the entire country, spurred on in recent months by the social conflicts that have occurred in Spain and Europe.
