The latest data on Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for November 2023 reveals a notable increase in retail inflation, marking a shift from the declining trend observed in the previous months.
According to government figures released on Tuesday, the retail inflation rate for November stands at 5.5%, up from the October rate of 4.7%.
This resurgence follows a brief dip in inflation rates noted in August, September, and October after a peak in July at 7.4%, primarily driven by elevated prices of tomatoes, other vegetables, and food items.
