The main pressure came from food products. In the Chui region, fruit prices rose by 35.6%, potatoes by almost 19.9% and meat by 11.0%. In a number of regions, housing and communal services and fuel became more expensive. Economists attribute the rise in prices to global inflation, higher logistics costs and currency fluctuations.
To curb inflation, the National Bank raised its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 9.25%. The government also introduced temporary restrictions on meat exports and price controls on beef and lamb.
