28.05.202608:00:00UTC+00Zambia’s Annual Inflation Eases to 6.6% in May, Extending Disinflation Trend

Zambia’s consumer price inflation edged down to 6.6% year-on-year in May 2026, from 6.8% in April 2026, according to data updated on 28 May 2026. The reading, based on a year-over-year comparison, indicates that price growth in May this year was 6.6% higher than in May 2025, compared with April’s 6.8% increase versus April 2025.

The modest slowdown signals a continuation of a gradual disinflation trend, suggesting some easing in price pressures across the economy. While inflation remains elevated in absolute terms, the incremental decline may be viewed as a constructive development for policymakers, businesses and consumers monitoring the trajectory of living costs in Zambia.
