Mozambique’s Annual Inflation Rises to 4.41% in April, Extending Upward Momentum

Mozambique’s consumer price inflation accelerated in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaching 4.41%, up from 3.40% in March 2026. The data, updated on 08 May 2026, indicate a continued build-up in price pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.

Both figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, meaning the April reading reflects how prices have changed relative to April of the previous year, while the March figure compares prices to March a year earlier. The step-up from 3.40% to 4.41% suggests that inflationary momentum is strengthening, a factor likely to be closely watched by policymakers, businesses, and investors assessing the country’s near-term economic conditions.
