ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In June 2026 inflation falls to +3.0% (from +3.2% of May). Istat detects it. “The slight slowdown essentially reflects the attenuation of tensions on unworked food prices, transport and recreational, cultural and personal care services.”.
Inflation support, on the other hand, is due to the moderate acceleration of energy prices. In June the “bottom inflation”, net of energy and fresh food, is reduced slightly (from +1.7% to +1.6%), as well as the net of only energy goods (from +2.1% to +2.0%).
The prices of goods remain stable on an annual basis (to +3.4%) and those of the services record a slowdown (from +2.8% to +2.6%). As a result, the differential between the service sector and that of goods is at -0.8 percentage points (from -0.6 percentage points). The rate of tendential variation of the prices of the food goods, for the care of the house and the person is reduced (from +1.9% to +1.6%), such as that of the high frequency products of purchase (from +4.4% to +4.1%).
The change in the general index is summarized, on the one hand, of the decrease in the prices of unworked food (-1.4%) and non-regulated energy (-0.3%), on the other, of the increase of those of the recreational, cultural services, and for the care of the person (+0.6%), of the services relating to the transport (+0.5%) and the regulated energy (+0.3%). Inflation acquired for 2026 remains +2.6% for the general index and rises to +1.7% for the bottom component. According to preliminary estimates, the harmonised consumer price index (IPCA) recorded a change of +0.1% on a monthly basis and +3.1% on an annual basis (from +3.2% of the previous month).
