Food prices, which make up nearly half of the CPI basket, fell 0.69%, moderating from a 1.76% decline in July. Inflation rose for pan, tobacco, and intoxicants (2.49% vs. 2.45%) and miscellaneous items (5.05% vs. 5.01%), while costs increased at a slower pace for clothing and footwear (2.33% vs. 2.50%), housing (3.09% vs. 3.17%), and fuel and light (2.43% vs. 2.67%).
