The High Commission for Planning in Tunisia reported today, Thursday, that inflation in Morocco rose to 8.2% in March compared to March 2022, mainly due to the increase in food prices.
Statistics from the commission revealed that "this increase was driven by a 16.1% rise in food prices and a 3% rise in non-food prices."
It was noted that "the core inflation index, which excludes regulated prices and items with high volatility, recorded a 0.1% increase in March compared to February 2023, and an 8.1% increase compared to March 2022."
Inflation has reached unprecedented levels due to rising food and energy prices, which the government attributes to drought and the Ukrainian-Russian war.
