Electric energy slows down, but continues to put pressure on inflation
Although the rise in Housing prices lost strength in relation to May, when the group rose 1.11%, it continued to be the one that put the most pressure on inflation in June.
This was mainly due to residential electricity, which slowed down from 3.67% to 1.53%, but it was still the item that contributed most to the month's result.
According to the IBGE, the electricity bill continued to be more expensive due to the maintenance of the yellow tariff flag, which adds R$ 1.885 for every 100 kWh consumed.
