In November, consumer prices rose by 0.4% compared to October and were up 9.3% compared to November 2024. This marks the first time since October 2024 that annual inflation has returned to single digits. Core inflation – which excludes short-term, seasonal, or government-controlled price changes – reached 0.3% for November and 9.3% for the year. Eggs saw the largest price increase last month (+12.6%), followed by vegetables, fish, oil, pasta, milk, butter, and bread. On the other hand, prices fell for fruit, pork, sugar, poultry, and rice. Clothing and footwear also became 2.3% cheaper. Utility tariffs remained generally stable except for a rise in garbage collection fees. One particularly notable change was the surge in price for one of Ukraine’s most popular foods: lard. Over the past year, its price has increased by more than 26%. In October, the average price per kilogram of lard went up by 6.6% from September, reaching ₴206.81. As of December, basic lard costs between ₴150-200 per kilogram in stores, while premium varieties sell for ₴600-700 per kilogram.https://ubn.news/for-the-first-time-in-a-year-inflation-in-ukraine-has-dropped-below-10-as-the-consumer-price-index-has-fallen-for-six-months-in-a-row/ (ICE KIEV)
