Rwanda Taux d'inflation

Rwanda's overall inflation rate accelerated for the first time in six months to 5.2% in December 2025, up from November’s nine-month low of 5.1%. It marked the highest inflation rate since September, due to a rebound in food prices (1.0% vs -1.1% in November), which had marked the first deflation in a year, with a sharp increase in bread & cereals (10.8%) and meat (17.2%). At the same time, faster price growth was seen in some categories, including alcoholic beverages & tobacco (15.1% vs 14.4%), housing & utilities (4.9% vs 4.5%), transport (7.8% vs 7.6%), and healthcare (63.6% vs 62.9%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices fell by 0.6% in December, after edging down 0.1% in the prior month, marking the steepest monthly decline in five months.
