Prices of alcoholic beverages and tobacco climbed 18.47 percent annually, while prices of furnishings and household equipment advanced 11.76 percent. There was an 11.25 percent annual growth in food and non-alcoholic beverages prices, and a 10.84 percent rise in transportation costs during the month.
