On the same note, authorities added that in 2021 there were increases in prices “of plane tickets; liquefied petroleum gas; gasoline and meals purchased away from home, as well as the wages of domestic servants.
On the other hand, the biggest decreases were registered in recreation and culture (-6.23 per cent) and communications (-5.36per cent).
