About CPI MoM — ZM
DEFINITION
Zambia's CPI MoM for May came in at 0.20%, down sharply from April's 0.70%, signaling a notable slowdown in monthly inflation. This deceleration marks a significant easing compared to the prior month’s reading. Market participants will watch upcoming data for confirmation of this trend amid ongoing monetary policy considerations. Updated 5/28/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (May 2026): actual 0.2 %. Prior reading (Apr 2026): 0.7 %. Before that (Mar 2026): 0.6 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially higher reading versus the latest print. Current dynamics are the primary tailwind in the projection.
