ISTAT revises the estimated inflation rate, which in December 2022 stands at +11.6%. The confirmed rate for 2022 is 8.1%. "This amount of inflation has an average annual impact on each household of 3,456.80 euros – stated Federconsumatori - An already alarming figure that, as the Institute of Statistics itself notes, disproportionately affects the most vulnerable groups and the least affluent households: in 2022, the impact of inflation on families with lower spending capacity will be +12.1%, compared to +7.2% for those with greater spending capacity. This is evidence that inequities in our nation are widening, as a result of price hikes and a lack of contrast policies ". The data released yesterday, along with those collected by the National Observatory Federconsumatori, which indicate a marked decrease in consumption even in an essential sector such as food, "confirm how urgent and necessary it is still an intervention by the Government to support domestic demand, through concrete measures to assist families, particularly the less well-off," Federconsumatori emphasized.
