Seven out of the nine sub-components recorded higher prices, while the remaining two saw a decline in prices. Prices for entertainment increased the most, while prices for healthcare registered the biggest fall.
Inflation remained at 3.3% in November, also matching October’s print. Thus, it stayed within the Central Bank’s target band of 3.0% plus or minus 1.0 percentage points.
