Rwanda's Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicates a steady rise in inflation, climbing to 6.90% in May 2025 from 6.30% in April, according to the latest figures updated on June 10, 2025. This year-over-year comparison highlights a continued inflationary trend in the Rwandan economy, impacting both consumers and businesses.
The steady upward shift, as seen by the CPI's comparison from May 2024 to May 2025, signifies ongoing economic forces at play that are raising the costs of goods and services for Rwandans. The data comparing from year-over-year suggests that the inflation rate has incremented by 0.60 percentage points from the previous month's annualized figure.
The rise in inflation could potentially influence monetary policy and consumer behavior in Rwanda, as policymakers might employ measures to curb inflationary pressures while maintaining economic stability. Stakeholders and observers are keenly watching as the situation develops, evaluating how these shifts may affect growth prospects and economic planning in the months ahead.
