Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Tanzania’s inflation zoomed past forecasts to hit 4.8 per cent in September from 4.6 per cent recorded in August, 2022 latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) indicated.

The September rate is the highest since November 2017 as Covid-19 pandemic and the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict have disrupted the global supply chains.

According to NBS, the overall index went up from 103.71 recorded in September, 2021 to 108.73 in September, 2022.

Some food items that contributed to an increase of the index include: – rice by 0.3 per cent, maize grains by 4.5 per cent, wheat flour by 0.2 per cent, maize flour by 3.2 per cent, freshwater fish by 1.2 per cent, dried sardines by 2.0 per cent, dried coconuts by 3.0 per cent, groundnuts (husked) by 1.3 per cent, dried beans by 4.2 per cent and spotted beans by 4.9 per cent.

The National Consumer Price Index between August and September, 2022 has increased from 108.63 recorded in August, 2022 to 108.73 recorded in September, 2022.
