Mozambique’s annual inflation rate ticked slightly higher in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 6.32% year-over-year, according to data updated on 8 November 2026. This marks a marginal increase from September’s 6.31% reading, suggesting a pause in any meaningful disinflationary momentum.
Both the September and October figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels to the same month a year earlier. The near-unchanged move from 6.31% to 6.32% indicates that, for now, inflationary pressures in Mozambique remain broadly stable rather than accelerating or decisively easing.
For policymakers and investors tracking Mozambique’s macroeconomic trajectory, the October data point reinforces a picture of steady, but still elevated, inflation. Market participants will now look to upcoming releases to see whether this slight uptick becomes a trend or proves to be a temporary interruption in a potential gradual cooling of prices.
