The Market Monitor: Issue 28- July 2015
|
Highlights:
1. The impact of staple food price changes on the cost of the basic food basket from April to June 2015 was moderate in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam; and low in the remaining countries of the region.
2. In Nepal, they rose by 5 percent in Mid-Western region and by 7 percent in Far-Western region, reflecting a fall in rice productivity in earthquake- affected areas. In Indonesia, nominal prices increased for rice (+10%) and sugar (+7%) compared to Q2-2014 as a result of the introduction of quantitative restrictions on imports.
3. Quarterly changes in the CPI and the food CPI were low or slightly negative in most countries. In Nepal, lower agricultural output and declining stocks in earthquake affected regions drove food prices up by 3.4 percent from Q1-2015.
4. Y/y inflation was moderate in Bangladesh (+6.3%), India (+5.2%), Indonesia (+7.1 %) and
Nepal (+5.7%). In Afghanistan, there was a slight decline in the CPI (-2.1%) and the food CPI (-2.8%) compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to lower energy costs.
