The firm highlighted that an abundance of staple crops in key production areas would likely temper the prices of cereals, tubers, vegetables, and other agricultural commodities, which have been major contributors to food inflation. \"We anticipate the disinflationary momentum to continue into September, driven by enhanced food supply resulting from the harvest period,\" the report indicated. The report also noted that a stable exchange rate and improved liquidity conditions would assist in keeping cost pressures in check for manufacturers and businesses reliant on imported inputs.
