Mozambique’s consumer price inflation inched higher in February 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rate rising to 3.20%, up from 3.04% in January 2026. The data, updated on 10 March 2026, reflect a modest acceleration in price growth compared with the same period a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s consumer prices with those of the corresponding month the year before. The uptick from January to February suggests a slight build‑up in inflationary pressure, though overall price growth remains relatively contained by historical emerging-market standards.
The February figure will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess whether this emerging upward drift in inflation could influence the trajectory of monetary policy and broader economic planning in Mozambique over the coming months.
