The study applied Student’s t—tesl for the comparison of two means assuming unequal variance. The before and a/icr study indicated that Mànthly Headline inflation is signiflcantly diffrrent across the two data sets (P (T< =1,) two-tail = 0.0096 is less than 0.05). In addition, the monthly core inflation is significantly di/frrent across the two inflation trends (P (T< =~ two-tail = 0.0003 is less than 0.05).
