November retail inflation falls to 4.38 per cent y-o-y

The country's annual consumer price (or retail) inflation eased for a fourth straight month in November to 4.38 per cent, its lowest level since the government started releasing the data in 2012, government data showed on Friday.

Consumer food price inflation, under a new series published by the government, eased to 3.14 per cent in November from 5.59 per cent in October.

The latest number was lower than a Reuters poll forecast of 4.50 per cent and October's level of 5.52 per cent.
