Some food prices have fallen – but inflation expected to rise from here

Analysts expect inflation to rise again despite a temporary fall in June, which may provide some relief to the new prime minister. The decrease in inflation is attributed to a drop in some food prices, offering a brief respite for consumers. However, experts warn that this decline is not likely to be sustained, and inflation is anticipated to increase in the coming period. Overall, the temporary nature of the fall in inflation suggests that economic challenges persist.
