Die Konsumentenpreise sind im April um 0,2% gestiegen

03.05.2019 – Der Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise (LIK) stieg im April 2019 im Vergleich zum Vormonat um 0,2% und erreichte den Stand von 102,4 Punkten (Dezember 2015 = 100). Gegenüber dem entsprechenden Vorjahresmonat betrug die Teuerung 0,7%. Dies geht aus den Zahlen des Bundesamtes für Statistik (BFS) hervor.

Der Anstieg um 0,2% im Vergleich zum Vormonat ist auf verschiedene Faktoren zurückzuführen, unter anderem auf die höheren Preise für Treibstoffe und Luftverkehr. Die Preise für Hotelübernachtungen, Brillen und Kontaktlinsen sind hingegen gesunken.
