Drinking this carnival will come out more expensive than last year, show data from the Brazilian Institute of Economics (Ibre), Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV). While inflation between February 2012 and January 2013 stood at 5.95%, according to the Consumer Price Index - Weekly (IPC-S), the price of beer and beer increased 12.99%, the refrigerant and water, 8.67%, and coffee, 12.13%, all above the inflation index.
The Ibre economist and survey coordinator, André Braz, mentioned that there was an increase in alcohol taxation in the period. "In addition, there was an improvement in income, which increases demand and higher prices," he added. Drinks sold in supermarkets have increased more than in general drinks in the period, up 15.20%.
Braz explains that although prices have risen more in supermarkets, not to say that the drinks are more expensive these establishments. "This number serves only to show that the price went anywhere, but buying drinks at the supermarket still cheaper than in bars and restaurants, for example. Booze remains cheaper at the supermarket," he said.
Other expenses related to the carnival also had higher increase than general inflation. This is the case of sweet and savory (10.98%), ice cream out of the house (9.27%) and hotel (7.12%).
