Dagestan, Karelia and Crimea became leaders in slowing inflation in September

Annual inflation slowed down in most regions in September, analysts say materials Central Bank. The decrease was facilitated by the expansion of the supply of food products, restrained consumer activity and the ruble, which has strengthened since the beginning of the year. Dagestan, Karelia and Crimea became the leaders in slowing down.

In Dagestan, food became cheaper against the backdrop of a good harvest of local vegetables and fruits. In Karelia, the opening of new hotels and campsites contributed to an increase in the availability of rental apartments and a slowdown in the annual increase in hotel prices. In Crimea, against the backdrop of weakening consumer activity amid uncertainty, smartphones fell in price and price growth for TVs, stoves and refrigerators slowed down. Decrease in demand for cars has been recorded everywhere.

The number of regions where prices rose increased to nine from three months earlier. The leaders in terms of price growth are the Magadan Region and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

In Magadan, the increase in the annual price growth rate is associated with a reduction in the supply of frozen fish and an increase in the costs of producers and suppliers. In Chukotka, food prices have risen due to the arrival of goods from the new navigation period at higher prices in the region.
