Consumer retail inflation falls to 18-month-low of 2.19% in December
India's consumer retail inflation fell to an 18-month low of 2.19% in December 2018 as compared to 2.33% in November 2018, largely due to lower food prices. Earlier on Monday, the data showed that India's wholesale price inflation eased to an eight-month low at 3.8% in December. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had earlier said that inflation remained within RBI's target.
