After a few days of delay, the Central Bank and the Statistical Center of Iran simultaneously published the inflation reports for the month of Ordibehesht; reports that, despite differences in figures, indicate the continuation of the upward trend in prices and increasing pressure on households' livelihoods.

The Statistical Center of Iran announced the monthly inflation rate for households in the country at 8.8%, the point-to-point inflation at 83.9%, and the annual inflation at 57.7%. Meanwhile, the Central Bank, focusing on urban areas, estimated the monthly inflation at 8.5%, the point-to-point inflation at 77.2%, and the annual inflation at 53.9%.

According to the Central Bank's report, the index of goods in Ordibehesht increased by 10% compared to the previous month and by 113.8% compared to the same period last year; a statistic that indicates a sharp rise in the cost of purchasing everyday items.

The discrepancy in the figures published by the two statistical agencies is attributed to differences in the statistical population, base year, sampling method, and weighting of goods and services. The Statistical Center considers all urban and rural households as the basis, while the Central Bank only examines urban areas.

Comparing the statistics with previous months also indicates an acceleration in the inflation trend. The point-to-point inflation, which was reported at 73.5% in Farvardin, reached 83.9% in Ordibehesht; an increase of more than 10 percentage points in just one month.
