Mozambique Inflation Rate Rises to 3.2% in February

The annual inflation rate in Mozambique inched up to 3.20% in February 2026 from an over one-year low of 3.04% in the prior month, partly reflecting the impact of disruptions caused by severe cyclones hitting the country since January. Upward pressure came primarily from prices of food & non-alcoholic beverages (5.83% vs 5.72%); clothing & footwear (4.80% vs 3.81%); miscellaneous goods & services (4.27% vs 4.01%); housing & utilities (2.71% vs 1.68%) and furnishings & household equipment (1.77% vs 1.32%). On the other hand, prices continued to fall for transportation (-1.52% vs -1.72%). On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 0.68%, after a 1.26% increase in the previous month.
