Ukraine’s inflation, Europe’s highest, accelerated in March for the 14th consecutive month to the annual highest at least since 2006 on the back of the weaker hryvnia, according to the state statistics office.
Inflation was 45.8 percent percent compared with a year earlier, driven by prices for fuels, natural gas and imported food, the office said in a statement on its website. That’s higher than the median estimate of 35 percent from five economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Consumer prices rose 10.8 percent in March from the previous month.
