Santo Domingo.- Consumer prices jumped 0.23% in October compared with September, paced by housing 0.57%, transport (0.30%) and foods, beverages and tobacco (0.19%), the Central Bank said on its Web site.

It said the figure places the January-October accumulated inflation at 4.55%, of which 70.11% results from rises on oil and energy prices.

“If the direct influence from these rises is excluded, the accumulated variation of the index would be 1.36%, explained mainly by the abundance of farm products, which has kept the main nutritional items at low price levels,” the Central Bank said.

The one big cloud in the clear sky of improved economic and social change is INFLATION and regretably the best way to counter this is , is to have higher interest rates ..I hope that all basic items can stay at current levels including petrol and electricity
