Prices stagnate as never before

Monthly inflation in August 2017 did not show negative figures: 0.01%; the annual inflation stood at 0.28% and the accumulated inflation at 0.20%. In the same month of 2016, it was -0.16, according to the report published yesterday by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses. What will happen in September? It is possible that the beginning of the school year in the highlands raises prices, as it has been the case in previous years, due to the increased demand for school supplies, clothing, shoes and other products. But analysts say that the impact may be lower because of the contraction of the national economy.
