German Text: Die Konsumentenpreise sind im August stabil geblieben
| Neuchâtel, 4. September 2018 (BFS) – Der Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise (LIK) blieb im August 2018 im Vergleich zum Vormonat unverändert beim Stand von 101,8 Punkten (Dezember 2015 = 100). Gegenüber dem Vorjahresmonat betrug die Teuerung 1,2%. Dies geht aus den Zahlen des Bundesamtes für Statistik (BFS) hervor.
Die Preisstabilität gegenüber dem Vormonat resultiert aus entgegengesetzten Entwicklungen, die sich insgesamt aufgewogen haben. Die Flugtarife sowie die Preise für Pauschalreisen ins Ausland sind gesunken. Demgegenüber sind die Preise für Bekleidung und Schuhe und die Wohnungsmieten gestiegen. |
