More lies
They are saying that food only rose 1.1% over same food prices lat year, and that somehow that fictitious number offsets all the other bigger increases to make 1.7%
Rent has gone up 10% stop the lies.
Fed up with this dictatorship that does not help the average Bermudia. We the people demand a full audit of the statistic department , I was to see every produce price and every product.
Am sick of the manipulation.
“Consumers paid 1.8% more in April than a year ago for the basket of goods and services”
And how many consumers believe that?
