January inflation highest in last eight months
The consumer price index representing the cost of inflation stood at 102.78 points in January, 1.05 per cent more than in December and the highest in eight months, Pimchanok Wonkorporn, director of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office, reported this week.
She attributed the increase to a hike in fresh food prices during the Chinese New Year holiday and a rise in energy prices.
