The development indicates a 1.82% month-on-month increase — and the highest inflation rate recorded since September 2005
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said this on Monday in its consumer price index (CPI) report for July 2022.
On a month-on-month basis, NBS said the headline inflation rate in July 2022 was 1.817 %, which was 0.001% higher than the rate recorded in June 2022 (1.816 %).
