Perú registró una inflación de 3,41% en el año 2023

The National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) reported that national inflation in 2023 was driven by consumption, highlighting how the rising costs of food and educational services directly impacted families’ purchasing power. While the cost of living increased significantly in key sectors such as food and education, there was a notable decline in fuel and basic service prices, creating a mixed economic landscape that reflects specific pressures on the basic consumption basket alongside relief in other essential categories. Price variability shows an upward trend in food products and transportation, contrasted with declines in fish and vegetables, underscoring the volatility of local supply and the influence of exchange rates on imported goods. This uneven behavior, with increases in restaurant services and non-state education, points to structural challenges in the services and private education sectors, while reductions in construction materials and machinery indicate a slowdown in industrial and commercial investment during the year. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates the importance of having access to detailed, disaggregated official statistics. The ability to analyze indicators such as the Consumer Price Index enables civil society, researchers, and developers to conduct social audits, verify public policies, and create visualizations that make complex economic information accessible, thereby fostering transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.
