The period average (last 24 months) percentage change of the CPI for the periods October 2020 to October 2021 and October 2021 to October 2022 is 5.1%, an increase of 5.4 ppts compared to the period average percentage change over the periods October 2019 to October 2020 and October 2020 to October 2021 (-0.3%).
During this month, four (4) of the twelve (12) sectors registered increases in prices.

The decreases in the remaining sectors had an effect of -0.16 ppts on the CPI of October 2022.
The increase in the “Recreation and culture” sector was mainly due to an increase in the category “Holidays” (11.6%), which contributed to an effect of 0.30 ppts. The increase in the “Household operation” sector was mainly due to an increase of 21.9% in the category “Furniture, furnishings, carpets and other floor coverings”, which contributed to an effect of 0.20 ppts.
The decrease in the “Transport” sector was mainly due to a decrease in the category “Operation of personal transport equipment” (-2.6%), which contributed to an effect of -0.22 ppts.
