The consumer price index CPI increased by 0.3% year-on-year in June, a slowdown from 1.2% in May. This change is due to a 2.3% rise in non-food product prices, offset by a 2.3% decrease in food product prices, according to data from the High Commission for Planning HCP. Month-on-month, the CPI fell by 0.4% compared to May, driven by a 0.8% drop in food prices and a 0.2% drop in non-food prices. The decline in food prices is mainly attributed to decreases in vegetables -5.2%, milk, cheese, and eggs -1.9%, meats -0.3%, bread and cereals -0.3%, and oils and fats -0.1%. Conversely, prices for fish and seafood increased by 3.4%, fruits by 0.8%, and coffee, tea, and cocoa by 0.2%. For non-food products, the monthly decrease is primarily linked to a 2.9% fall in fuel prices. Significant CPI decreases were observed in cities like Beni Mellal -2.0%, K茅nitra -1.7%, Errachidia -1.4%, Al Hoce茂ma -1.3%, and T茅touan -1.0%. Prices rose in Safi +0.4% and Oujda +0.1%. Year-on-year, non-food prices continue to be influenced by transport, with tariffs up by 6.7%, while communication is the only sector to see a decrease -0.3%. The underlying inflation indicator, excluding volatile and publicly administered prices, rose by 0.2% month-on-month but fell by 0.1% year-on-year, indicating a continued easing of inflationary pressures.
