Botswana's Consumer Price Index (CPI) witnessed a moderate increase in August 2025, rising to 1.4% compared to the same month last year. This represents a slight uptick from July's year-over-year rate of 1.1%. The latest data, updated on 15 September 2025, indicates a gradual climb in the country's price levels over the recent months.
The data suggests a steadier inflation trajectory as Botswana navigates global economic shifts. Economists are closely monitoring the CPI as an indicator of consumer inflation, which ultimately influences the purchasing power of consumers and the overall economic wellbeing. As Botswana continues to manage its economic policy amidst broader regional and global market influences, this CPI movement offers insight into developing trends that could impact future fiscal planning.
