The Central Bank reports that inflation in November was 0.9%, the yearly rate from January to November was now at 7.64% and year-on-year it was 8.63%. According to the bank authorities, the underlying inflation accumulated over the first eleven months of the year was 5.05%. The Central Bank explained that the inflation rate in November was influenced by a decrease in the Food and Beverage sector, which offset the 0.52% increase in Transportation.
