Context and confirmed data
This report brings together the latest available figures and explains what is already confirmed, without turning short-term changes into definitive forecasts.
Impact on household budgets
The final retail effect also depends on exchange rates, freight, energy, inventories, contracts and distribution margins. Pass-through can therefore vary by city and retailer.
What consumers should monitor
Compare prices per kilogram or litre, check package sizes and keep a purchase history. A price series is more reliable than a single promotion or one-day increase.
Responsible reading: the figures show a market trend, but they do not by themselves determine the date or size of a possible consumer price increase.
