Inflation Continues To Moderate In February

 

Headline inflation moderated to 3.2% YoY in February (+3.3% in January). This was due to slower growth in the cost of housing & utilities, transport and clothing. Looking ahead, we expect the headline inflation to inch lower to 3.6% in 2018, from +3.8% in 2017. This is on account of:

1.   The Government’s commitment to keep energy prices stable;

2.   Manageable volatile food prices.
