Evolución del Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC): en julio de 2005

Abstract

Inflation in July 2005, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), was 0.5%, higher than the 0.2% rate observed in the same month last year. Consumer price growth in July 2005 was once again due to price increases observed in goods and services related to the oil market. Particularly noteworthy in this regard were the increases recorded in fuel prices (gasoline and diesel1) and the adjustments observed in urban fare fares2. It should be noted that the increase in the price of diesel was ultimately lower than that recorded at the beginning of the month. It should also be noted that the direct impact of the urban fare increase will extend into August of this year, as the aforementioned change occurred in the second half of July 2005.
