The Commerce Ministry has revealed that the inflation rate in October rose as high as 1.46 percent due to the higher prices of food, especially rice, flour products, meat, eggs, milk, fruit, and vegetables.

The country’s inflation in the first 10 months, according to the Ministry of Commerce, increased at the percentage of 2.27, thanks to the increasing prices of food and beverages.
