NAIROBI (Reuters) – Ethiopia’s inflation slowed to 11.6 percent year-on-year in August from 11.9 percent the previous month, owing to a dip in non-food items, the statistics office said on Monday.

The Central Statistics Agency said non-food price inflation fell to 9.2 percent from 9.7 percent in July.

The food inflation rate rose to 14.7 percent in August from 13.9 percent the previous month.
