Looking ahead, the’ inflation is expected to remain negative for a few months, before rebounding slightly above zero only in the last few months of the year. “
In fact, the Istat note explains the” persistence of deflationary dynamics “with” the large drop in energy goods prices (-7.5% compared to June 2015), though less intense than that registered in May. excluding these goods inflation, although a slight downsizing, remains positive and amounted to + 0.4% (from + 0.5% in May). net of unprocessed food and energy prices the ‘core inflation’, slows down and leads to + 0.5% (from + 0.6% in May). the inflation for 2016 is -0.2% (from -0.3% in May). “

In the second quarter of 2016, the reduction of consumer prices (HICP) is more sensitive to families with less purchasing power (-0.7%), compared to those with greater purchasing power (-0.1%), because of the larger weight that for the former have the energy goods.
