Inflation falls to 5.52% in June

Inflation fell to 5.52 percent in June, the lowest in four months, riding on a decline in both food and non-food prices, according to a statement from the planning ministry today.

Food inflation fell nine basis points from 5.49 percent in May to 5.40 percent in June, while non-food inflation dropped to 5.71 percent last month, down 13 basis points from 5.84 percent a month ago.
