Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise im Oktober 2016

Konsumentenpreise steigen um 0,1 Prozent

Neuchâtel, 07.11.2016 (BFS) – Der Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise (LIK) stieg im Oktober 2016 gegenüber dem Vormonat um 0,1 Prozent und erreichte den Stand von 100,3 Punkten (Dezember 2015=100 Punkte). Im Vergleich zum Vorjahresmonat betrug die Teuerung -0,2 Prozent. Dies geht aus den Zahlen des Bundesamts für Statistik (BFS) hervor.

Der Anstieg des LIK um 0,1 Prozent gegenüber dem Vormonat ist hauptsächlich auf das neu erhobene Wintersortiment im Bekleidungssektor sowie auf höhere Preise für Erdölprodukte zurückzuführen. Weniger bezahlt wurde hingegen für neue Automobile, Hotelübernachtungen und Pauschalreisen ins Ausland.
