Mauritius inflation unchanged
Mauritius’ annual
average inflation rate was unchanged at 1.8 percent in May from a month
earlier, official data showed on Monday.
“The headline
inflation rate for the twelve months ending May works out to 1.8
percent compared to 7.4 percent for the twelve months ending May 2009,”
the Central Statistics Office said in a statement.
The CSO said on a monthly basis, prices of food and non alcoholic
beverages dipped by 0.2 percent compared with April, while transport
costs were down by 1.6 percent. The price drops were balanced by rising
costs of restaurants and hotels, miscellaneous goods and services and
alcoholic beverages and tobacco.
