Inflation rises at slower rate of 3.3%…

Malaysia’s inflation rate climbed 3.3% in August compared with the same month a year ago and 4.1% in July, the Department of Statistics said in a statement on Wednesday.

The August inflation is a six-month low and that was partly helped by a stronger ringgit that reduced the costs of imported goods and services.
