In light of the next year’s budget, inflation will not eat it all,” Skvernelis told Žinių Radijas news radio on Thursday morning.
The annual inflation stood at 4.8 percent in September, as compared year-on-year, while the average annual inflation was 3 percent (4.4 pct and 2.6 pct in August, respectively).
