The monthly rate headline inflation in July 2023 increased by 0.1 per cent, the lower than recorded in June 2023. The cooling in Malaysia\u2019s inflation was due to slower increase in restaurants & hotels (5.0%) and food & non-alcoholic beverages (4.4%).<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from that, slower increases to the inflation rate in July can also be attributed to miscellaneous goods & services which rose by 2.6 percent followed by health and education, both increased by 2.0 percent respectively.\u00a0 Other sectors like housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels which total 23.8 per cent of the CPI saw 1.7 percent increase.<\/span><\/p>\n
