Question:

The annual rate of inflation is forecast by the Department of Finance to average 4.5% in 2002. The latest available figure from the Department of Finance is for September 2002 showing the average annual inflation rate continues to be 4.5%. I do not have specific inflation figures for goods and services provided to my Department.
