Reuters , Sunday 9 Oct 2011

Consumer price index raised in September on the back of rises in the cost transport, food and consumer items

Jordan's year-on-year consumer price inflation rose to 4.8 per cent in September, according to figures released by the Department of Statistics on Sunday.

Compared with a month earlier, the September consumer price index was up 0.2 due to a rise in transport, food and consumer items.

Yearly inflation has picked up since the start of the year on the back of oil and commodity prices but government subsidies have helped curb rises in some food prices.
