Inflation fell to 12.3% in January from 13.2% in December, remaining above the Central Bank’s 4.0–8.0% target range. In December, the Central Bank hiked the policy rate from 12.00% to 13.00% to tame inflation. Inflation is seen dipping this year but will remain in double digits nonetheless, propped up by a recovery in tourist arrivals and January’s minimum wage hike.
