Inflation, consumer prices (annual %)

What is this?

Average yearly increase in consumer prices.

How to read it

  • 5% means a basket that cost 100 MZN costs about 105 MZN a year later. Annual average; see the monthly INE figure for the latest.
  • Unit: %.

What does the data say?

Inflation, consumer prices (annual %) (Mozambique) is 4.4 % (2025), 2.06 points lower than in 2005.

Over all 21 observations since 2005, the highest was 17.4 (2016) and the lowest 2.6 (2014).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Higher inflation erodes wages and savings.
  • Businesses: Raises costs and complicates pricing.
  • Government: Affects the real value of spending and debt.
  • Investors: High inflation usually means high interest rates.
  • Mobile money: Nominal transaction values rise with prices without more being bought. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.

What should I watch?
