Even Codacons, on the basis of provincial data released today by Istat, has elaborated the ranking of the cities where inflation grows the most in March, and the related spending effects on households based on the average consumption of resident citizens. Genoa is the city where inflation grows the most in March, with a rate of 9.8%, bringing up what Potenza, where prices increase by only 4.8% on an annual basis. In Bolzano and Milan the heaviest repercussions, with the “typical” family spending over 2,200 euros more on an annual basis due to inflation.
According to the association, the slowdown in inflation recorded in March by Istat is unfortunately an optical illusion due to the drop in electricity and gas bills, while the goods most purchased by households, from food to shopping carts, continue to grow at a dizzying pace. The drop in inflation is due once again, explains a note, solely to the drop in electricity and gas tariffs on the protected and free markets, but for all other products we are still in the presence of a price emergency, with the cart of expenditure which rises by 12.6% over the year – analyzes Codacons – inflation at 7.6% is equivalent to higher expenditure equal to +2,223 euros per year for the “typical” family which rises to +2,879 euros for a nucleus with two children.
