Consumer Price Indices and Inflation Rates-August 2021

The CPI increased by 0.23 per cent from a revised index of 115.446 in July
2021 to 115.710 in August 2021. The month to month Food and Non-Alcoholic
Drinks’ Index increased by 0.46 per cent between July 2021 and August 2021.
This was mainly attributed to increase in prices of some food items, which
outweighed the decrease in prices of others.
