The price of bread and other essential foods increases

In October of this year, food prices in Kosovo, compared to the previous month, show data released yesterday by the Kosovo Statistics Agency (ASK).

The overall harmonised index of consumer prices is higher for 0.2% in October 2017 compared to September 2017<18x1>, the ASS report said.

But the price of cigarettes has also increased by 0.1 percent.

As the AK reports, this is largely explained with the rise of consumption prices in subgroups: bread and cereals (1.5%), milk, cheese and eggs (1.8%), vegetables (4.1%), reports Insander.

But, in October, the comparison of consumer prices by September shows there have been reductions in tree prices (-3.9%) and transportation services.
