Lower Inflation Index
The reduction in the prices of
fuels directly influenced a drop
in the inflation index in
September, when it decreased by
0.16 percent.
This took the inter-annual
inflation –October 2005 to
September 2006– to 11.24, while
last year it was 14.07 percent,
the National Statistics and
Census Bureau reported.
A negative variation in
inflation had not been reported
since October 2001, when it
dropped 0.01 percent.
Economist Ronulfo Jimenez
pointed out that in the coming
months inflation will depend on
the effects of the new monetary
policy of the Central Bank, and
not so much on external factors
such as the price of oil.
