Botswana’s consumer price inflation slowed slightly in June 2026, with the month‑on‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.2%, down from a 0.3% increase recorded in May 2026. The latest data, updated on 15 July 2026, indicate a modest cooling in price pressures compared with the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the current reading compares the change in prices in June to those in May, while the previous figure captured the change in May relative to April. The softer June print suggests a marginal deceleration in short‑term inflation momentum within the Botswana economy, as price growth edged down by 0.1 percentage point from the prior month’s pace.
