In December the price of cabbage, butter and potatoes increased the most,
while the price of fish and meat products declined.
A family of four used 74.40 euros per week on the basket of groceries in
December, which is 6.8% more than in December 2016.
According to EKI, the reason behind the price growth was an overall
increase in the prices on the global market as well as an increase in
companies' expenses.
The price increase has a negative effect on the consumers' estimation of
the economic situation of the household as well as the state.
In EKI's estimation the consumer price index (CPI) is to increase 3.1% in
2018.
