First, write inflation exceeded, not 'the inflation exceeded'. The determiner the is defining. If you use it, you have to mention what kind of inflation you're talking about; e.g., the inflation rates mentioned earlier.

Second, you don't need a dash (-). Try a period or a colon,

Ex: ...other way round. Inflation exceeded...
Ex: ...other way round: Inflation exceeded...

Third, the last bit, also influenced by intervention interest practiced by the National bank doesn't modifying anything. As is it leaves the reader asking, "What was also influenced?"

Hope that helps.
