PETALING JAYA: Inflation outlook remains anchored below 2% despite policy changes and cost adjustments although analysts warn that price pressure may rise towards the year-end with the rollout of subsidy reforms and minimum wage hikes.
Headline inflation rose slightly to 1.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) in July from 1.1% in June, while core inflation stayed unchanged at 1.8% for the third consecutive month, according to official data.
