Nigeria\u2019s headline inflation is projected to increase marginally in August to 11.15%. This is likely to bring to an end the 18-month consistent decline in the index. This inflection is not surprising as the rate of moderation in the price level had been noticeable over time.<\/p>\n

Also noteworthy is the expected dip in the month-on-month inflation to 0.98% (12.36% annualized), driven by higher agric output. The third quarter of the year is the peak of the harvest.<\/p>\n

A change in the direction of inflation is likely to restrain the MPC from reducing interest rates at their next meeting on September 24\/25.<\/p>\n

In the attached bulletin, the FDC Think-Tank is projecting the inflation numbers for August.<\/p>\n
