Uganda’s consumer price inflation picked up in September 2026, with the year-on-year CPI rising to 4.6%, up from 4.1% recorded in August 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 September 2026, indicate a modest but noticeable acceleration in price growth compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the current 4.6% reading reflects how prices in September 2026 have changed relative to September 2025. Similarly, the previous 4.1% figure for August measured price changes against August 2025. The uptick suggests inflationary pressures are building slightly, which may draw heightened attention from policymakers and financial markets monitoring Uganda’s price stability and economic outlook.
