Abu Dhabi\u2019s consumer price index was up 0.1% in July<\/strong>, breaking a three-month downward streak, according to data<\/a> from the Abu Dhabi Statistics Center<\/a>. On a monthly basis, inflation saw a 0.9% increase, according to the data<\/a>, after having edged down 0.5% in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prices of ins. and financial services saw the highest annual increase<\/strong> in July, climbing 6.8%. This was followed by 2.9% increases in the costs across the board in the restaurants and hotels; as well as furnishing, household equipment and routine household maintenance; and housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some sectors are still in deflation territory: <\/strong>Clothing and footwear recorded the most significant deflation during the month, dipping 6.9%, followed by a 5.8% decline in transport prices \u2014 the second largest component in the inflation basket \u2014 and a 1.1% drop in food and beverage costs. The communications segment also saw a 0.3% drop.<\/p>\n

On a monthly basis, furnishing, household equipment and routine household<\/strong> maintenance recorded the highest increase<\/strong> among all categories during the month, rising 3.7%, followed closely by a 3.6% increase in transport prices, and a 2.2% rise in recreation and culture costs. Segments seeing deflation included clothing and footwear, dipping 2.1%; food and beverage, down 0.4%; and restaurants and hotels, which saw prices fall 0.2%.<\/p>\n

Price growth is still cooler than in Dubai: <\/strong>Dubai\u2019s annual inflation accelerated<\/a> to 2.88% in July, up from 2.37% in June. Some components of the basket recorded moderate price growth, while other segments remained in deflation territory.<\/p>\n

The bigger picture:<\/strong> In June, the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) slightly lowered<\/a> its inflation forecast for the UAE this year by a 0.1 of a percentage point to 1.9%, which it attributed to a \u201ccontinuous downward trend in transportation costs\u201d and \u201cmoderating energy prices.\u201d This puts the CBUAE\u2019s forecast just below that of the IMF, which now expects<\/a> inflation in the UAE to come in at 2.1% in 2025, in what is a slight upward revision from the fund\u2019s earlier estimate of 2% inflation for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
