Economic Update




The headline inflation rate moderated to 3.6% YoY in March, from +3.8% in February. This was attributed to slower increases in the prices of food and clothing as well as the cost of healthcare. Going forward, we forecast headline inflation to pick up to 4.2%, from +3.5% last year. This is on account of:
1. Higher energy oil prices as a result of a pick-up in crude oil prices;
2. Electricity tariff hikes;
3. Modest pick-up in volatile food prices.
