Kuwait’s inflation drops 2.6 percent in November

13 Jan 2014

(MENAFN) Kuwait’s consumer price index (CPI) has dropped 2.6 percent year-on-year in November compared to 2.7 percent in October, according to Gulf Daily News.

National Bank of Kuwait reported: “This small move masked some notable changes within the sub-components: another sharp fall in food price inflation was almost offset by a rise in ‘core’ price pressures. Going forward, we expect core pressures to continue to edge higher.”

The country’s overall inflation rate is still expected to average a modest 3 percent through 2014, compared to 2.6 percent in 2013.
