Qatar inflation highest since start 2010

Reuters is reporting that :

Annual consumer price inflation in Qatar rose to 2.2 percent in September because of a jump in food costs, reaching its highest level since at least the beginning of 2010, when the Statistics Authority began publishing year-on-year data.

The inflation rate climbed from 2.1 percent in August, continuing this year's uptrend from 1.6 percent in January. Qatar resumed experiencing inflation last December after a protracted period of deflation.

On the bright side, rents in Qatar are supposed to be down 0.8% (which is about QR80 on a QR10,000 monthly lease). Though that hardly helps if you're in a one year lease.

Have you seen prices increase, decrease or stay the same this year? Leave a comment to let us know.

Food prices in the world market fluctuate based on many factors like rainfall, export policies of food producing countries etc..since 90% of food is imported in qatar,its expected that, despite ever increasing oil and gas exports, the country would be at the receiving end of capricious swings in the food prices abroad.
