Primary articles inflation goes to 16.8%, increasing slightly from the 16.2% last week.
Last year, the month of September was benign, so expect a high headline figure in the next two weeks as well. With potential floods, we aren’t going to have a great food supply situation in October – perhaps the rains stop now and help.
Not plotting revisions now – the index data is changing as we step into a new base year, so I’ll let revisions be for a couple months.
