The Extended National Consumer Price Index-15 (IPCA-15) changed by 0.35% in August and was almost reduced to half of the rate of 0.63% registered in July.
With this result, the index accumulated 4.69% in 2008, higher than in the same period of the previous year (2.85%). The index accumulated in the last 12 months was 6.23% slightly below the 12 immediately previous months (6.30%).
The non-food products, on the other hand, increased from 0.28% to 0.38% from July to August. This occurred because, despite the decrease of apparel (-0.48%) and others, items also important in the budget of the families increased.
Regarding education, the increase of 0.38% in August was affected by the increases of 0.22% of formal education courses and of 1.65% in diverse courses (computer science, languages, etc...).
