Botswana’s consumer price inflation edged down slightly in February 2026, with the year-over-year CPI reading easing to 4.0%, compared with 4.1% in January 2026. The data, updated on 13 March 2026, indicate a modest slowdown in price growth on an annual basis.
Both the current and previous figures are measured as year-over-year changes, comparing each month’s consumer prices to the same month a year earlier. The February reading suggests that while inflationary pressures remain present in Botswana’s economy, they are showing tentative signs of moderation as the pace of price increases cools marginally from the start of the year.
