Surprisingly, inflation in Switzerland continued to fall in March. The last time inflation was lower was in September 2021.
Specifically, inflation fell to 1.0% in the month under review from 1.2% in February, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) on Thursday. This means that Swiss consumer goods were 1.0% more expensive in March than in the same month last year.
The decline is a surprise. Economists surveyed by AWP had estimated annual inflation of between 1.2 and 1.5 percent.
وكان التضخم قد انخفض بالفعل في يناير/كانون الثاني وفبراير/شباط. بلغ التضخم في سويسرا ذروته عند 3.51 تيرابايت 3 تيرابايت في صيف 2022. وفي يونيو 2023، انخفض بعد ذلك إلى ما دون مستوى 2% للمرة الأولى منذ يناير 2022.
Core inflation also declining
Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and fuel prices, also fell in March. It fell from 1.1 percent to 1.0 percent.
Inflation for domestic goods amounted to 1.8%, slightly below the previous month's figure. In the area of foreign goods, inflation was -1.3% and therefore well below the previous month's figure.
Among the individual product groups, residential rents stand out, having risen by 2.8% year-on-year. Oil products, on the other hand, have become cheaper.
Travel more expensive, cars cheaper
وفي الوقت نفسه، ظل الرقم القياسي الوطني لأسعار المستهلكين دون تغيير عند 107.1 نقطة في مارس مقارنة بالشهر السابق. ووفقًا للبيانات، فإن استقرار الأسعار مقارنة بالشهر السابق كان نتيجة لتطورات متعارضة وازنت بعضها البعض بشكل عام.
Prices for package tours abroad and air travel rose, as did those for clothing and shoes. Prices for the para-hotel industry and cars, on the other hand, have fallen, as has the rental of private transportation, according to the FSO.
عند المستوى الحالي، لا يزال التضخم في ألمانيا معتدلاً، حتى بالمقارنة مع البلدان الأخرى. في منطقة اليورو، على سبيل المثال، بلغ 2.4 في المائة في مارس.
