The highest price rise in October was recorded in the medical care and medicines category, which stood at 30.8 percent, according to the Lao Statistics Bureau.
This was followed by the cost of housing, water, electricity and gas category at 29.9 percent, the hotel and restaurant category at 27.5 percent, and the household goods category at 27.3 percent.
