Prominent price declines in June were in clothing and footwear, which fell 4.2%, fresh fruit and vegetables, which fell 0.9%, and furniture and household equipment, which fell 0.4%.
The Central Bureau of Statistics has also published the change in home prices (which are not part of the general CPI) between April-May 2025 and May-June 2025. On average, prices fell 0.5%. This is the fourth successive month that prices have fallen, after falling 0.3% last month.
