Prosperity index falls 0.1 pt

The prosperity index, calculated by the Bureau for Investments and Economic Cycles (BIEC), has fallen by 0.1 point in September m/m and stands at 104.9 points. The index has grown continuously since August 2015. This month's decline is a result of a stagnant unemployment rate. Salaries grew a bit slower than last month and deflation has little significance since it applies mainly to non-food products.
