Headline inflation stable at 4% in November

KUALA LUMPUR: Headline inflation continues to remain stable at 4.0 per cent in November 2022, similar to October 2022, as the increase in core inflation was offset by lower inflation in other categories, namely fuel and fresh food, said Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).

The central bank said core inflation increased slightly to 4.2 per cent during the month from 4.1 per cent recorded in October, mainly due to the increase in prices for food away from home.
