Uganda’s consumer price inflation edged down to 2.8% year-over-year in March 2026, from 2.9% in February, according to the latest data updated on 31 March 2026. The reading, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), reflects the change in prices compared with the same month a year earlier.

The modest decline suggests that price pressures in Uganda remain contained on an annual basis, with March’s figure marking a slight softening from the previous month’s pace. February’s 2.9% rate was itself measured against February of the prior year, while March’s 2.8% compares prices in March 2026 with those in March 2025.

The marginal slowdown in inflation keeps the annual rate below 3%, a level that may be viewed as relatively moderate in the regional context. However, the small change from February indicates that underlying price dynamics remain broadly stable rather than signaling a sharp disinflationary shift.
