Economic News
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November 2011 increased by 0.1 percentage points to 6.1% from 6.0% in October. The primary contributors to this increase was the increase in prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages, transport as well as recreation and culture. The annual Producer Price Index (PPI) for November 2011 decreased by 0.5 percentage points to 10.1% year-on-year from 10.6% in October. This lower annual rate can be explained by the decrease in the annual rate of change in the PPI for mining and quarrying and electricity. |
