Qatar: According to Qatar's statistics authority, annual inflation rate has dropped to 2.1% in November from 2.5% in October, partly because of a drop in transport and communications costs, Reuters has reported. Consumer prices rose 0.1% month-on-month in November after a 0.4% rise in October, the data showed. October's annual inflation was the highest since at least the start of 2010, when the authority began publishing year-on-year data every month. Qatar's central bank expects inflation this year of 2.5%, central bank governor Sheikh Abdullah bin Saud al-Thani said in October. [AMEInfo.com]
