Nigeria’s inflation rate surged to 34.80 percent in December 2024 from 34.60 percent in November according to the latest Consumer Price Index and inflation data released on Wednesday, January 15 by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS.

The December inflation data showed that the country’s inflation further rose marginally by 0.20 percent due to heightened demand for goods and services during the festive season.

  4. Nigeria’s inflation rises to 27.3%

On a year-on-year basis, the December inflation rate marked a significant increase of 5.87 percentage points compared to 28.92 percent in December 2023.

 

“On a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 5.87 percent higher than the rate recorded in December 2023 (28.92 percent). This shows that the headline inflation rate (on a year-on-year basis) increased in December 2024 compared to the same month in the preceding year (i.e., December 2023),” NBS stated.

 

Meanwhile, NBS said Nigeria’s food inflation dropped marginally to 39.83 percent in December 2024 from 39.93 percent in November on a year-on-year basis.

While the country’s inflation continues to rise, the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, CPPE, has stated how Nigeria’s inflation rate can drop.

 

Reacting to the report, CPPE highlighted that Nigeria’s inflation can moderate on pause of the monetary tightening policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria, reducing fiscal risks.

 

“To ensure a further moderation in inflationary pressures, CPPE recommends as follows: “Pause on monetary policy tightening and interest rate hikes by the CBN to reduce business operating costs.

“Reduction in fiscal risks to macroeconomic stability through a reduction in fiscal deficit and deceleration in growth of public debt,” the CPPE stated.
