Botswana’s consumer price inflation slowed to 9.4% year-over-year in July 2026, easing from 10.7% in June, according to data updated on 14 August 2026. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading marks a continued moderation in price pressures, as the rate of increase in consumer prices decelerates compared to previous months.
Both the current and previous figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels with those of the same month a year earlier. The July slowdown indicates that while inflation in Botswana remains elevated, the pace of annual price growth is gradually cooling, which may offer some relief to households and inform future policy considerations by economic authorities.
