The July CPI gain was fuelled mostly by high school entrance and graduation examinations along with the hot weather, the expenses of daily electricity use up by 1.32% and water by 0.22%. 
Nine of the 11 key goods and service categories had their prices spike in July. The biggest pace at 0.25% was seen in the prices of apparel, hats and footwear.
