Laos: Inflation rate climbs above 3 percent

  • Oct 17, 2018

The Lao inflation rate continued to increase above 3 percent in September despite the government introducing a number of measures to control the price of goods in local markets.
The Lao National Statistics Bureau announced this week that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached 105.73 points in September, increasing from 104.96 points in August. 
The continued increase of the CPI resulted in a 3.06 percent year-on-year increase of goods prices in Laos. In August, the Lao inflation rate was 2.57 percent.
