VIENTIANE (Laotian Times): The cost of living in Laos is still rising, but not as fast as before. New data from the Lao Statistics Bureau shows that prices across the country grew by 4.5 percent in September compared to the same month last year. This is a small improvement from August, when prices had increased by 5 per cent.
This change means that while things are still getting more expensive, they’re not rising as quickly as they were a few months ago, a welcome sign for families and businesses who have been struggling with rising costs.
