Ethiopia’s annual inflation rate eased for the second consecutive month, falling to 9.4% in March 2026 from 9.7% in February. This marked the lowest level since November 2018 and reflected a slowdown in non-food inflation, with prices in that category rising 7% year-on-year compared with 8.1% in February. In contrast, food prices accelerated, increasing 11% from a year earlier after a 10.8% gain in the previous month. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 2.3% in March— the sharpest increase in five months—following a 0.4% rise in February.
