The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Monday, April 15, said the inflation rate increased from 31.70% in February 2024 to 33.20% in March 2024.

According to the Bureau in its Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Inflation Report March 2024, it rose by 1.50% point compared to the previous month.

NBS said: “In March 2024, the headline inflation rate increased to 33.20% relative to the February 2024 headline inflation rate which was 31.70%.

“Looking at the movement, the March 2024 headline inflation rate showed an increase of 1.50% points when compared to the February 2024 headline inflation rate.”

The document said on a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 11.16% points higher compared to the rate recorded in March 2023, which was 22.04%. This shows that the headline inflation rate (year-on-year basis) increased in March 2024 when compared to the same month in the preceding year (i.e., March 2023).

NBS further noted that on a month-on-month basis, the headline inflation rate in March 2024 was 3.02%, which was 0.10% lower than the rate recorded in February 2024 (3.12%).

The Bureau explained this means that in March 2024, the rate of increase in the average price level is less than the rate of increase in the average price level in February 2024.
