According to the NBS, headline inflation, on a month-on-month basis, increased by 1.54 per cent in February, compared to 1.49 per cent recorded in January.

The urban inflation rate increased to 17.92 per cent (year-on-year) in February from 17.03 per cent in January, while the rural inflation rate increased to 16.77 per cent from 15.92 per cent.

The NBS said the rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of bread and cereals, potatoes, yam and other tubers, meat, food products, fruits, vegetable, fish and oils and fats.

It said the average annual rate of change of the food sub-index for the 12-month period ending February 2021 over the previous 12-month average was 17.25 per cent, compared to 16.66 per cent in January.
