Mickoski expects 1.5–2% food inflation in September: “Tomorrow we will see what the total will be”

Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski expects annual inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages in September to move between 1.5 and 2 percent, as Skopje1 reports.

According to the prime minister, the assessment is based on analyses by the State Market Inspectorate, while the official data on total inflation will be published tomorrow by the State Statistical Office — “tomorrow we will see what the total will be”, he said.

Mickoski stressed that the low fuel prices have had a great impact on this result, according to Macedonian media reporting.

Context: in August annual inflation was 4.4%, while the government has kept fuel prices among the lowest in the region.
