Zambia's annual inflation rate eased to 16.5% in March 2025, from 16.8% in the prior month, which was the steepest since November 2021. This was the first slowdown in inflation since June 2023, as favorable rains led to a more modest increase in food prices (18.9% vs 20.6% in February). Meanwhile, non-food inflation accelerated to 13.2% from 11.7% in February. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 1%, slowing from a 2.4% increase in the previous month.
