What has been maintained are the prices of recreational places or spaces, education, communication or information sources, that is to say telephony or diverse goods.

Many of the products or goods that are consumed come from abroad, so their prices are influenced by conflicts or external problems.

Although inflation has been decreasing, it still remains at 3% as of the last report provided by the BCR.
