HIGHER transport, housing and food costs have sent inflation rising at its fastest pace in 14 months.
The consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.2 per cent last month over April last year. This beat the median estimate of 2.6 per cent by five economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

Last month's inflation was all the more unexpected, in view of this year's relatively tame figures. The CPI rose 0.2 per cent in January over the same month last year and 1 per cent in February year-on-year.
