Dubai\u2019s average inflation for <\/strong>2024 slowed down to 3.27% in 2024,<\/strong> from 3.33% in 2023, according to figures (pdf)<\/a> from the Dubai Statistics Center. Food and beverage prices increased at slower rate of 2.33% last year, down from 4.57% in 2023 \u2014 a change that helped offset an increase in the pace of rising prices of housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels to 6.74%, up from an average of 5.68% in 2023. <\/p>\n

Dubai\u2019s annual inflation fell to 2.89%<\/strong> in December, down from 3.01% in November,<\/strong> the figures showed. The lower inflation reading was mainly driven by decreased inflation of transport, information and communication, and clothing and footwear during the month. <\/p>\n

The breakdown:<\/strong> Prices of housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels \u2014 the largest component of the basket of goods and services \u2014 increased at the highest pace recorded throughout 2024 to 7.23% in December, compared to 7.21% in November. However, annual transportation inflation fell by 4.90%, information and communication went down by 2.05%, and clothing and footwear declined by 1.27% during the month. Meanwhile, personal care and social protection inflation rose at a slower rate of 1.94%, down from its 2024 peak of 3.25% in November.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Fuel prices fell in <\/strong>December<\/a> by nearly 5%, except for a marginal increase in diesel, following a 3% price increase in November<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Month-on-month, Dubai\u2019s inflation increased 0.45% in December,<\/strong> remaining unchanged from the previous month\u2019s reading, according to the statistics center\u2019s monthly inflation report (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
