Inflation continues to ease
Food prices continue to soar. Their price index rose by 8.8% in October compared with the same period last year. A trip to the supermarkets and souks reveals the price of fruit and vegetables in particular. Statistics from the High Commissioner’s Office for Planning (HCP) show nevertheless that growth in the food component of inflation has slowed gradually since last March, from +20.1% year-on-year to +10.4% in August 2023.
