Zambia’s inflation slowed to 6.8 per cent year-on-year in February from 7.0 per cent in January, the statistics office said on Thursday.
The monthly inflation rate rose to 1.0 per cent from 0.9 percent in the previous month, the Central Statistics Office said.
“The decrease in the year-on-year inflation rate is mainly attributed to the price changes of non-food items,” Central Statistical Office director John Kalumbi said in a statement. (Reuters/NAN)
