                    [Summary] => Consumer prices rose to 5.4 percent in June, exceeding official and many private projections as  oil price  hikes triggered a sharp rise in prices of basic commodities, the National Statistics Office (NSO) reported yesterday.


The inflation rate in May  stood at 4.7 percent. Private sector analysts had widely expected inflation in June to rise to about five percent while government projections had placed it at under five percent.
