To actively respond to challenges posed by increasing inflation pressure, the Government has directed ministries, sectors and localities to take concerted measures to stabilise prices, and minimise inflation’s negative impacts on socio-economic development.
According to the GSO, August’s core inflation was up 0.4% m-o-m, and 3.06% y-o-y, making it increase by 1.64% y-o-y in the first eight months of this year./.
