Haiti - Economy : Index of Consumer Prices June 2013 24/07/2013 10:58:55
This deceleration in inflation is due to the moderate increase in almost all the functions of consumption and especially the contraction of 0.1% of the "Food, Beverages and Tobacco" function that represents more than 50% of the household budget. The index "Clothing, Textiles and Footwear" +0.4%, "Health" +0.2% and other functions "Rent Housing, Energy and Water", "Management, equipment maintenance of housing", "Transport", "Leisure, Entertainment, Education and Culture" and "Other goods and services" increased by only +0.1%.

The inflation in the function "Health" is mainly due to the rising cost of prescription glasses +0.2%, doctors fees +0.5% and hospital costs +0.1%.
