Tanzania’s Annual Headline Inflation Rate eased for the sixth-straight month in July, 2023 to 3.3 percent from 3.6 percent recorded in June, 2023 according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures released by the national statistics body.

This marks the lowest inflation rate recorded since June 2021, primarily attributed to the diminished escalation of prices for food items and non-alcoholic beverages.

“The decrease of the headline inflation explains that, the speed of price change for commodities for the year ended July, 2023 has decreased compared to the speed that was recorded for the year ended June,2023,” the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.

The overall index went up from 109.25 recorded in July, 2022 to 112.67 in July, 2023.
