CCPI-based inflation soars to 69.8% in September

CCPI-based inflation soars to 69.8% in September

 

Core inflation in Sri Lanka, as measured by the year-on-year (Y-o-Y) change in the Colombo Consumer Price Index, rose to 69.8% in September 2022 from 64.3% in August 2022.


According to the Department of Census and Statistics, this Y-o-Y rise in inflation was driven by monthly increases in both food and non-food categories.


Accordingly, food inflation (Y-o-Y) increased to 94.9% in September from 93.7% in August, and non-food inflation (Y-o-Y) increased to 57.6% in September from 50.2% in August.
