 Annual food inflation for January 2023 was recorded at 11.6 percent compared to 11.9 percent in December 2022 (see Figure 2).

The annual non-food inflation for January 2023 was recorded at 6.4 percent from 7.3 percent in December 2022. This outturn was mainly attributed to decreases in prices of non-food items such as Fuels & lubricants (Diesel, Petrol, Lubricants).
