Dhaka : Bangladesh's inflation leaped to 9.92 per cent in August, from 9.69 per cent the previous month, driven by higher food prices, the country's statistics agency reported Sunday.
The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) data showed that food inflation increased to 12.54 per cent in August from 9.76 per cent in the previous month, Xinhua news agency reported.
Non-food items inflation eased to 7.95 per cent in August from 9.47 per cent in July, the data showed. Inflation in Bangladesh jumped to 9.94 per cent in May, the highest in the past decade, also mainly driven by higher food prices.
