Similarly, on a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 6.21 percentage points higher when compared to the rate recorded in February 2022, which was 15.70 per cent.

This shows that the headline inflation rate (year-on-year basis) increased in February 2023 when compared to the same month in the preceding year.

According to the Report, “In February 2023, the headline inflation rate rose to 21.91 per cent compared to January 2023 headline inflation rate which was 21.82 per cent. Looking at the trend, the February 2023 inflation rate showed an increase of 0.09 percent points when compared to January 2023 headline inflation rate.

“Similarly, on a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 6.21 per cent points higher compared to the rate recorded in February 2022, which was 15.70 per cent.

“This shows that the headline inflation rate (year-on-year basis) increased in February 2023 when compared to the same month in the preceding year (i.e., February 2022).
