In contrast, prices for combined offers for fixed-line and mobile communication, fuels and new cars decreased.
The strong Swiss franc, which has soaked up some of the rising costs of imported goods and services, and relatively modest pay increases have helped to limit inflation in Switzerland compared to much of the rest of the world.
Annual inflation in Switzerland reached a high point of 3.5% in August 2022.
