In addition to the post-crisis recovery and supply difficulties in the manufacturing sector, energy prices contributed the most to the rise in consumer prices: energy prices rose by 28.6 percent in January, from 25.9 percent in December. Excluding energy prices, inflation was 2.6 percent in January and 2.8 percent in December. (MTI)
