Fight against inflation
Unsurprisingly over the past year, food prices have been one of the worst hit categories in the inflation escalation, as witnessed in many countries across Europe.
In April last year the official price index pegged food prices at 199.6, whereas in the recently released figures they had risen to 215.7.
Mounting fuel costs, as also experienced in many other countries, has also hit Gibraltar, with a huge year on year increase from 167 to 184 on the price index.
Housing costs have also considerably increased from just under 125 to slightly below 138.
The price of services climbed up from 182 to 189 over the year up to April 1, according to the official data.
