Sin embargo, este crecimiento mensual no revierte la tendencia general, ya que la inflaci\u00f3n interanual se mantiene en terreno negativo, con una variaci\u00f3n de -2,09%.<\/p>\n<p>En t\u00e9rminos acumulados, el primer trimestre del a\u00f1o presenta una ca\u00edda de -0,85%, lo que confirma un comportamiento at\u00edpico en los precios durante el inicio del 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Entre los principales factores que impulsaron el aumento mensual destacan los rubros de recreaci\u00f3n, deporte y cultura, as\u00ed como alimentos y bebidas no alcoh\u00f3licas. En particular, productos como los paquetes tur\u00edsticos al extranjero, los huevos y los boletos a\u00e9reos tuvieron una incidencia significativa al alza.<\/p>\n<p>Por el contrario, bienes como los autom\u00f3viles nuevos, el arroz y la papa contribuyeron a contener el incremento general de precios.<br \/>\nDel total de bienes y servicios analizados, el 48% aument\u00f3 de precio, mientras que un 35% registr\u00f3 disminuciones y un 17% se mantuvo sin cambios.<\/p>\n<p>Este comportamiento mixto refleja una econom\u00eda con presiones diferenciadas por sector, en un contexto donde m\u00e1s de la mitad de las divisiones del \u00edndice a\u00fan presentan reducciones en sus precios.<\/p>\n<p>This is a news service prepared by ICS.
