January 13, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus saw a 0.3-percent rise in consumer prices in December, the National Statistical Committee (Bie\u0142stat) reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food prices rose by 0.4 percent, while non-food prices and services climbed by 0.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government was expecting inflation to slow down to 5 percent in 2025, yet it stood at 6.8 percent following 5.2 percent reported in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to December 2024, food prices rose by 9 percent; non-food products, by 3 percent; services, by 8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
