In order to protect families, the government has undertaken to use its own means to break down and reduce inflation to single digits by the end of 2023. The plan is working, the targeted government measures are effective and efficient, so as a result, the government will reduce the sanctioned inflation to single digits before the end of the year, expectedly by November.

Compared to the 16.4 percent seen in August, this represents a more favorable level by more than 4 percentage points, moreover, it represents the most dynamic drop in the rate of inflation since January, the GFM pointed out.
