Six out of 11 commodity groups that are components of the basket for CPI calculation witnessed month-on-month price hikes. Among them, education posted the sharpest increase.
Meanwhile, the CPI in the third quarter grew by 0.92% against the previous quarter and 3.81% year-on-year.
Overall, the CPI in the first nine months of this year has increased by 3.85% year-on-year.
According to the GSO, core inflation in the nine-month period was 2.59%.
Domestic gold prices continued the growing trend due to global uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, with a decrease in prices as a result of investors booking profits, a better-than-expected recovery of the US economy and an appreciation of the US dollar against other currencies.
In September, gold prices in Vietnam declined by 0.33% month-on-month but soared 32.37% against last December and 30.33% year-on-year.
