       COLOMBO, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka's inflation, measured by a year-on-year change in the Colombo Consumer Price Index, increased by 29.8 percent in April, the country's central bank said on Friday.

       This increase was driven by the monthly increases in both food and non-food categories, according to the central bank.

       Food inflation jumped by 46.6 percent in April, while non-food inflation grew by 22.0 percent in April.

       Prices of items in the non-food category recorded increases mainly due to price increases observed in sectors such as transport, water, electricity and gas, while prices of items in the food category increased due to hikes in prices of milk powder, rice, bread, dhal, sugar and dried fish during the month.

       Sri Lanka recently hiked its interest rates in a bid to control its skyrocketing inflation.
