Original title: Pakistan Inflation Cools Though Floods Risk Stoking Prices
Pakistan’s inflation unexpectedly eased last month, though torrential monsoon rains risk disrupting supply chains and boosting prices. Consumer price index rose 3% in August from a year ago, according to data released by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics on Monday. That’s lower than the median estimate for a 4% in the Bloomberg survey . Inflation accelerated to 4.1% in July.
