This brought the annual inflation rate in December to 20.40%, up from 20.96% the previous month. Inflation has surged over the past year and the annual inflation rate contrasts with the 9.97% rate that was registered in December 2024. The category with the steepest monthly price increase was transport (+15.31%), likely reflecting the
