January's −3.45% monthly decline is the sharpest recorded in this series, reversing four months of consecutive gains. The YoY figure of +53.04% reflects a low January 2025 base — the base effect will normalise through 2026. Taken alongside February's +0.30%, the exceptional growth rate of mid-2025 appears to have passed.
