KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda's year-on-year inflation rate dipped to 5.59 percent in October, down from a revised 5.92 percent the previous month, the statistics office said.
Consumer prices rose 0.90 percent in October from the previous month, driven by an increase in the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages, housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels and transport, the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) said in a statement.
NISR said the underlying inflation rate -- excluding fresh food and energy -- rose 0.52 percent to 3.2 percent in September compared to the previous month.
NISR had initially reported that inflation in September was 5.7 percent.
