Botswana’s consumer price dynamics swung back into positive territory in August 2026, with month-over-month CPI rising by 0.4%, according to data updated on 15 September 2026. This marks a sharp turnaround from July 2026, when the CPI fell by -1.8% on a monthly basis.

The latest figures show that, on a month-over-month comparison, price levels in August increased relative to July, after having declined in July compared with June. The shift from a -1.8% drop to a 0.4% increase suggests that downward price pressures eased significantly as the third quarter began, halting the short-lived deflationary trend observed in mid-2026.

The data are based on a month-over-month comparison, where the “actual” value of 0.4% reflects the price change in August versus July, while the previous reading of -1.8% captured the change in July compared with June.
