Although no official separate economic data on St Maarten and Curaçao have yet been published, consumer price inflation for St Maarten has long been published separately. Twelve-month inflation decelerated to 0.8% in October 2010 (the latest available data) from 6% at the end of 2009 and 2.4% in June 2010. The easing of inflation is a result of weaker price pressures in the categories of clothing and footwear, health and education.
