Bank economists, universities and rating agencies estimated the likelihood of price reduction by the end of summer. They agreed that in August-September 2021, for the first time in two years, there will be no monthly deflation, “Izvestia”.
“will be a good harvest, which will reduce prices for seasonal vegetables and fruits, but at the expense of other components of the consumer price index (non-food and services) we predict the positive inflation rates in August and September,” Mikhail Vasilyev explained the chief analyst .
Analysts believe that in the event of a decline in food prices, it will not be able to kill the inflation of other categories in the consumer basket, so even if deflation is, it will be purely symbolic and not practical sense.
Economists suggested that the negative monthly growth of the aggregate consumer price index will not occur. Even food products will not decline in price due to significant growth in the global market.
