However, inflation in non-food articles, which include fibres, oil seeds and minerals, rose to 16.07 per cent from 15.05 per cent in the previous week.Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee expressed hope that the inflation will moderate in coming months and will come down to 5.5 percent. Talking to reporters outside Parliament Mr. Mukherjee said that with the good monsoon the food inflation will also come down.
