The bureau stated that the CPI increased by 0.55 per cent (month-on month) compared to the August headline inflation rate.

The NBS said: “On a year-on-year basis, the Headline inflation rate was 5.98% points higher compared to the rate recorded in September 2023 (26.72%)

“This shows that the Headline inflation rate (year-on year basis) increased in September 2024 when compared to the same month in the preceding year (September 2023).

“Furthermore, on a month-on-month basis, the Headline inflation rate in September 2024 was 2.52%, which was 0.30% higher than the rate recorded in August 2024 (2.22%).
