State Statistical Office: Increase in Consumer Price Index and Retail Price Index


For the fourth consecutive year, the Consumer Price Index is increasing compared to the same period last year.

The Consumer Price Index in September 2017, compared to September 2016, increased by 1.7%, while the the Retail Price Index increased by 4.1%, according to the State Statistical Office.

Such increase has been registered after SDSM and Zoran Zaev came to power. This is not the only economic data that goes in a negative direction since SDSM came to power.

For the third consecutive month, decline in industrial production, export, lower average wage and other negative indicators were registered, which reduced the competitiveness of the Macedonian economy.
