◆ The headline inflation rate accelerated to 2.1% yoy in August, from +1.9% in July and a low of +1.2% in
February. This was the sixth consecutive month of picking up and the fastest rate of increase in 15 months, pushed
up partly by the Government’s move to increase fuel and sugar prices in mid July and partly by the lower base effect
given that inflation contracted in the same month last year.
