Fruits also slipped by 0.9%, while oils, cereals, and meat recorded smaller decreases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Families, however, paid more for dairy products, with milk, cheese, and eggs climbing 2.7%. Hot drinks such as coffee, tea, and cocoa rose by 0.6%, while fish and seafood inched up 0.4%.<\/p>\n<p>Non-food products moved in the opposite direction, rising by 0.2%. Fuel in particular weighed heavily on household budgets, jumping 3.5%.<\/p>\n<p>The price shifts were not felt equally across the country. Meknes registered the sharpest fall in consumer prices at \u20130.7%, followed by Guelmim (\u20130.6%) and La\u00e2youne and Settat (\u20130.5%).

Food products rose by 0.9% year-on-year, while non-food goods increased by 0.2%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Within non-food items, transport costs fell by 2.9%, but restaurants and hotels rose by 3.4%, reflecting the pressure of services on household spending.<\/p>\n<p>Core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as fresh produce and state-regulated tariffs, slipped by 0.1% month-on-month but remained 0.9% higher than last year.<\/p>\n<p>The figures show a mixed picture. Moroccan households are paying less for fresh produce but continue to face higher bills for fuel, dairy, and luxury services. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rabat \u2013 Consumer prices in Morocco edged down in July 2025, offering households a modest reprieve at a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[79,5122,179,18,10454,10455,19,185,17,10456],"class_list":{"0":"post-10820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-cpi","10":"tag-economy","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-food-prices","13":"tag-hcp","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-inflation","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-morocco"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
