Shelter is still responsible for more than half of the CPI increases. While there’s hope that shelter inflationary pressures will eventually ease, the decline has been very gradual and not linear.

  • Transportation is still a problem at 8.17% y/y, but has improved slightly during the year.
  • Medical services seeing renewed inflationary pressures at 3.83 y/y currently, it was at 0.62% y/y back in January.
