According to the General Statistics Office, in December 2023, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.12% compared to the previous month, up 3.58% compared to the same period last year. The reason for the increase was due to some localities increasing the price of medical services, increasing tuition fees, domestic rice prices continued to increase following the price of exported rice and increasing household electricity prices.

For the whole year of 2023, the CPI increased by 3.25% compared to the previous year, achieving the target set by the National Assembly. Of the 11 main groups of consumer goods and services, 10 groups increased in price compared to the previous month. In particular, the post and telecommunications group decreased by 1.36% compared to the same period last year.

For the whole year of 2023, core inflation increased by 4.16% compared to 2022. The main reason is that the average domestic gasoline price in 2023 decreased by 11.02% compared to the previous year, and gas prices decreased by 6.94%. This is a factor that restrains the growth rate of CPI but belongs to the group of goods excluded from the list of core inflation calculations.
