Tunisia's economic inflation rate stabilized during the month of October for the second month in a row at 7.4 percent, after a steady rise during the first months of this year.
According to the National Institute of Statistics, this relative stability of inflation is due to the decline in price indices on the level of food and beverages in particular, with a decline of about 7%. Tunisia's economic inflation rate has been rising since the end of 2017 to the beginning of this year, exceeding 6 percent in December and settling at 6.9 percent in January.
That figure jumped significantly in the months following its stabilization at 7.8 percent in June, the highest rate ever reached in years, and declined in the last two months in September and October.
