About CPI YoY — ZM
DEFINITION
Zambia's CPI YoY for May came in at 6.600000%, down from April's 6.800000%, marking a continued easing in inflation. This decline from March's 7.1% through April to May indicates a steady deceleration in price pressures. Market participants will watch upcoming data for confirmation of this trend amid current monetary policy settings. 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 6.6 %. Prior reading (Apr 2026): 6.8 %. Before that (Mar 2026): 7.1 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a similar reading versus the latest print. Current dynamics are the primary tailwind in the projection.
