In August, inflation for low-income households recorded a decline of 0.12%. According to information from the Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea), the fall is related to the decline in the prices of the main foods consumed by the population.
In the last month, there was a retreat of prices in tubers (-9.7%), meat (-1.5%), milks and derivatives (-1.3%), poultry and eggs (-1.3%).
Still according to Ipea, the drop in values for the higher income families occurred on a smaller scale, for products such as gasoline (-1.5%) and air tickets (-26.1%).
