*Honduras’ central bank (BCH) has released new figures showing that monthly inflation in November was 0.35%, up from 0.24% in October. This brought the annual inflation rate to 5.09% in November, up from 4.85% in October. The annual figure is beyond the BCH’s target range of 4.00% +/- 1%. According to the BCH, monthly inflation was driven by some agricultural foods which have been affected by a fall in production due to recent climate events, as well as the price of some industrialised foods and meat products. The monthly figure was also a result of higher prices for accommodation, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (+0.57%), while food and non-alcoholic drinks were up 0.55%.
