First, it's honourable to acknowledge your fault, but still, the tariff affected the CPI, not the other way around, except that it didn't affect it as much as economists projected.



From the figures above, take a look at the Previous CPIs and Actual ones released yesterday, and not the Forecasted figures. Core CPI increased by 0.1%, CPI increased by 0.3%, while the year mean CPI reduced by 0.1%. This shows that the CPI is on the rise, only that it is not as high as it was projected.
