Prices in October have increased, bringing inflation to 8.3%.

Their level in the markets was measured by the Institute of Statistics, which reports that compared to last October, the increase is 5.9%.

At the current rate, inflation is at its highest level not only this year, but since 1998.

Compared to last year, transport and food have increased by more than 10%, while mobiles, hotel and restaurant services of tobacco have increased by over 5%.

Institutions predict this level of prices for the following months as well, which is expected to stop at the end of next year.

For the government, the increase in prices in our markets is influenced by external factors, while with an average annual level of 6.5%, our country has the lowest inflation in the region. Next year this level is expected to drop to 3.6%, but markets remain uncertain as long as the Russia-Ukraine war is active.
