Inflation rate overview
The overall inflation rate in April 2016 stood at 5.27 per cent.
The annual inflation rate as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) decelerated marginally from 6.9 per cent in 2014 to 6.6 per cent
in 2015. – The easing of inflation was largely due to reduced costs of petroleum products, electricity and tightening of the monetary policy.

What are the differences between analogue and digital
broadcasting?
Analogue Platform
• An analogue (or analog) broadcast signal directly
represents the transmitted sound and picture through
deliberate variations in signal voltage and radio
frequencies
Digital Platform
• Digital broadcasting works by translating sound and
picture into digital data rather than analogue waveforms.
• Digital links have more efficient bandwidth usage than
analog links, which gives a content provider more room
to provide a higher-quality signal.
