Headline inflation fell below expectations, driven by subsidies, prompting political pressure on the central bank for rate cuts. However, core inflation remains elevated, ensuring rates will likely stay unchanged as policymakers prioritize underlying price stability over temporary headline declines. This dynamic highlights the critical distinction in open data between headline and core metrics. Clear access to granular inflation data allows analysts to interpret policy decisions accurately, demonstrating how transparent statistical disclosure supports informed economic understanding.
