Tunisia's National Institute of Statistics revealed that the annual inflation rate fell to 7.5 percent in February from 7.8 percent in the previous month.

According to the institute, this decline is due to the contraction in the rate of increase in prices between February and January compared to the same period of the previous year.

Tunisia's inflation rate continues to decline for the sixth consecutive month from a high of 9.3 percent in August. The institute's data showed food prices rose 10.2 percent due to a 35 percent increase in coffee prices, lamb prices by 22.5 percent, and edible oil prices by 21.8 percent.
