Morocco’s annual inflation rises to 0.4% in September

RABAT (Reuters) -Morocco’s annual inflation, measured by the consumer price index, rose to 0.4% in September from 0.3% a month earlier, the North African country’s statistics agency said on Wednesday.

Food prices, the main driver of inflation, rose 0.5% from a year earlier, while non-food inflation increased 0.4%.

Core inflation, which excludes more volatile goods such as food, rose to 0.3% year-on-year and was stable month-on-month.
