*Honduras’ central bank (BCH) has released new figures showing that monthly inflation in September was 0.41%, up from 0.20% in August. This brings the annual inflation rate to 4.55% in September, up from 4.16% in August. The BCH notes that this is still within the BCH’s target range of 4.00% +/- 1%. According to the BCH, monthly inflation was driven by accommodation, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (+0.94%), mainly due to price rises in the rental market and other maintenance services, as well as transport (1.28%), mainly due to the increase in international airfares and petrol prices. The BCH estimates that policy actions by the government (fuel and energy subsidies) reduced inflation by 0.62 percentage points regarding the September annual figure.
