Inflation
Every month, each of Africa's national statistics offices publishes its consumer price index — the official measure of how fast the cost of everyday life is rising. This page collects the headline year-on-year rate for all 54 African countries in one table, sourced directly from the statistics office of each country and updated as new releases land.
Headline CPI year-on-year inflation by African country — from the national statistics office when a usable monthly release exists.
