Lower income group most affected by inflation

The Bank Negara Annual Report 2015 has revealed that there was a higher inflation rate for the lower income groups across most states in Malaysia.

Households in the bottom 20% of the income group experienced inflation rates that were 0.12 to 1.10 percentage points higher than households in the top 20% of the income group.

As the lower income groups spend a larger share of their expenditure on food, they experienced higher inflation due to the higher food inflation of 3.6% in 2015, compared with 3.3% in 2014.
