Inflation rises in September

Inflation rates have been reported for several countries. In Bangladesh, point-to-point inflation rose to 8.34% in September from 8.26% in August, according to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. Food inflation increased to 7.22% in September from 7.02% in August, while non-food inflation edged down to 9.30% from 9.32%.

In contrast, Ghana's annual inflation is projected to slow to between 4.1% and 4.4% in September, according to Databank Research. This forecast marks a decline from August's 5.0% inflation rate. The expected moderation is attributed to improved supplies of key food staples, which have led to substantial price declines for some foods, such as tomatoes, cassava, plantain, and local rice.

Estonia's consumer price index rose 3.5% year-on-year in September, driven by higher fuel and housing costs, according to Statistics Estonia. This represents a faster pace than in recent months.
