The tobacco group Philip Morris raised cigarette prices, while the October inflation may increase by 50 to 70 basis points when other producers join the price hike wave, according to the economy world. “If prices are hiked in all segments of tobacco, it may affect the October inflation by 0.5-0.7% in total. October is advantageous in terms of base effect, but, expected price increases such as energy and fuel, may adversely affect this 2% inflation advantage. The negative impact of foreign exchange rates may also be seen in October. The basis effect advantage of the October inflation will become clear in line with realizations in the month,” a source told Reuters. The annual inflation saw 19.58% in September.
