Inflation fell for several commodity groups, including: alcoholic beverages and tobacco (from 8.9 to 8.5 percent); furnishing, household equipment and routine maintenance (from 5.3 to 4.8 percent); communication (from 0.1 to zero percent); recreation and culture (from 3.9 to 3.4 percent); and restaurants and hotels (from 7.0 to 6.5 percent). However, this was offset by rising inflation for clothing and footwear (from 6.2 to 6.3 percent); transport (from 1.6 to 1.8 percent); and miscellaneous goods and services (from 5.7 to 6.0 percent).  Inflation was unchanged for: food and non-alcoholic beverages (2.5 percent); housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (3.3 percent); health (8.6 percent) and education (7.4 percent).
