Headline inflation rises despite Naira scarcity

Against analysts’ expectations, headline inflation rose to 21.91% in February due to higher food prices. The 0.09% marginal increase reflects the impact of the Naira scarcity on consumer purchasing power. Business activities also slowed in the month due to the cash effect, evident in the 16.45% decline in the purchasing managers’ index for February to 44.7 points. Meanwhile, the old and new denominations remain legal tender. This could be reflected in March’s inflation figure, which is expected to increase slowly due to price pressures.
