While applauding the reduction in inflation, the cabinet’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) advised that the decreased pricing trends be translated into real comfort for the average person.

Inflation for the first half of FY2025 (July–December) dropped sharply to 7.2% from 28.8% during the same period last year, the cabinet council was told.
