Malta inflation edges up slightly in Nov.

Xinhua, December 16, 2016 Adjust font size:

Malta's inflation edged up slightly by 0.68 percent year on year last month, official data revealed on Thursday.

The reading, measured by the Retail Price Index, was slightly higher than that for October, according to Malta's National Statistics office.

The rise was attributed to higher prices of vegetables, non--alcoholic beverages and home furniture respectively.
