According to the latest data released by IBGE on Tuesday (10), the inflation of fuel prices will be 23.87% in 2022. Commodity prices in the fuel subgroup were the most significant drop over the last 12 months, with legislative measures interfering in the country’s tax policy.

In second place was the deflationary ethanol, which dropped by 25.42% over the year. On the other hand, prices of other items in the fuel subgroup increased, such as diesel and gasoline for engines. The highest inflation this year came from clothing, food, and personal care, driven by food.
