Consumer price index to continue to rise

Notably, on average, the CPI rose by 0.37% each month, much higher than the increase of 0.03% in the first half of last year. Prices of necessities have also increased in recent months, creating pressure for both government agencies and traders as well as consumers. All the efforts and solutions government agencies are making are aimed to help maintain the inflation rate at below 4% as the target for this year.
