Abstract

[eng] Retail Prices since a Year and a half - During 1979, the retail price index has jumped from 9.7 % (1978) to 11,8 %. From 1978 to 1979, the rise in prices attained 2.1 %. The article tries to outline the factors that played a role in this evolution- one that also has effected the whole of foreign economies. Products that are closely linked to raw materials and to energy have contributed the most to this acceleration of inflation between 1978 and 1979. The rise in the prices of raw materials was quickly passed on to the retail prices of items because of measures for freeing prices and the policy of 'truthful prices' carried out for public rates. It should be noted, however, that the acceleration of prices when compared to that of France's principal economic partners is weak. This is explained by the moderate measures taken by industries at the production level, because the service sector prices and foot prices have lagged far behind. Public service rates have undergone the inevitable rise due to the price of oil. [fre] Au cours de l'année 1979, l'indice des prix de détail a enregistré une hausse de 11,8 %, contre 9,7 % en 1978; de 1978 à 1979, la hausse des prix s'est accélérée de 2,1 %. L'article se propose de mettre en évidence les facteurs qui ont joué un rôle dans cette évolution qui a d'ailleurs marqué l'ensemble des économies étrangères. Ce sont les produits les plus liés aux matières premières et à l'énergie qui contribuent le plus à l'accélération de l'inflation de 1978 à 1979. Cependant l'élévation des cours des matières premières s'est rapidement répercutée sur les prix de détail en raison des mesures de libération et de la politique de « vérité des prix » menée pour les tarifs publics. Il faut noter, toutefois, que l'accélération des prix comparée à celle de nos principaux partenaires est faible; cela s'explique surtout par la modération de l'industrie au stade de la production, car les prix des services et de l'alimentation ont fortement dérapé. Quant aux tarifs publics, ils ont subi les hausses des prix pétroliers. [spa] Los precios por menor desde un afîo y media - A lo largo del ano 1979, el índice de precios por menor registre un alza de un 11,8 % contra un 9,7 % en 1978; hasta 1979, el alza de los precios se fué accelerando en un 2,1 %. Este artículo intenta evidenciar los factores que desempenaron un papel en dicha evolución, la cual, por cierto, afectó el conjunto de economías extraderas. Son los productos más vinculados con las materias primas y la energía los que contribuyen mayormente a la acceleración de la inflación de 1978 a 1979. No obstante, el alza de las cotizaciones de materias primas repercutió rápidamente en los precios por menor a raiz de las medidas de liberación y de la política de « veracidad de los precios » instaurada con relación a tarifas públicas. Cabe señalar, sin embargo, que la acceleraciôn de los precios equiparada con la de los principales paises miembros es poco elevada; ello se explica mayormente por la moderación de la industria a nivel de la producción, ya que los precios alimenticios y de servicios se incrementaron sumamente. En cuanto a tarifas públicas, estas fueron registrando las alzas intervenidas en los precios petroleros.
