Business | The average rate of inflation in consumer prices for 2000 was 9.8%, up from 7.3% in 1999. The government forecasted an average annual inflation rate of 6.8% for 2001. After a steady decline in the unemployment rate to 11.4% in January 1999, the figure went up to 13.6% in January 2000 and rose again to 15.6% in January 2001. This increase is partially due to a peak in the number of workers entering the workforce, increasing efficiency of the workforce and reductions in personnel at several large state owned enterprises.
