German Text:
Die Konsumentenpreise sind im Juli um 0,5% gefallenDer Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise (LIK) sank im Juli 2019 im Vergleich zum Vormonat um 0,5% und erreichte den Stand von 102,1 Punkten (Dezember 2015 = 100). Gegenüber dem entsprechenden Vorjahresmonat betrug die Teuerung 0,3%. Dies geht aus den Zahlen des Bundesamtes für Statistik (BFS) hervor. Der Rückgang um 0,5% im Vergleich zum Vormonat ist auf verschiedene Faktoren zurückzuführen, unter anderem auf die im Rahmen des Ausverkaufs reduzierten Preise für Bekleidung und Schuhe. Die Preise für Pauschalreisen ins Ausland sowie jene für den Luftverkehr sind ebenfalls gesunken. Gestiegen sind hingegen die Preise für Heizöl und für Beeren. |
