July 18 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, rose to 16.1 percent in June, the country's National Statistics Office said Monday.
The index rose 1.5 percent from the previous month and 9.5 percent from the end of last year, the office said in a statement.
The statistical agency said the increase is directly related to the higher prices for imported goods.
