This inflation surge has had immediate consequences, with the prices of foodstuffs and goods rising significantly in the Nigerian market.

The NBS’s report indicates that in September 2023, the headline inflation rate witnessed a notable increase of 0.92% points when compared to August 2023.

On a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate for September 2023 was 5.94% points higher than the rate recorded in September 2022, which stood at 20.77%.

This data emphasizes the stark contrast in inflation levels between the two years.

Additionally, when comparing month-on-month data, the headline inflation rate in September 2023 was 2.10%, which marked a decrease of 1.08% from the rate recorded in August 2023, which was 3.18%.

This indicates a less rapid increase in average price levels in September compared to August 2023.

The report also provides insight into the percentage change in the average Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the twelve-month period ending in September 2023.
