ADDIS ABABA Dec 8 (Reuters) – Ethiopia’s year-on-year inflation rose to 7.0 percent in November from 5.6 percent the previous month, due to a rise in the price of food items, official data released on Thursday showed.
The Central Statistics Agency said food inflation rose to 6.1 percent in November from 3.4 percent in October.
Non-food inflation was 8.1 percent in November, compared to 8.2 percent the previous month, the body said.
