The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) will from next month separate the price changes for fuel, food and transport from other consumer items in computing inflation figures in a move aimed at giving more clarity on the cost of living.

This is after the KNBS launched a report on core and non-core inflation, marking a departure from the current format in which the national statistician only publishes overall inflation.
