As of June 2026, Malawi recorded the highest inflation rate in Africa at 21.1%, followed by Burundi at 18.4% and Nigeria at 15.91%. While these figures remain elevated, data shows a broader regional trend of cooling price pressures. Five of the ten countries analyzed saw a decline in inflation, indicating that aggressive monetary tightening and improved supply conditions are beginning to impact price levels across the continent. Food inflation remains the primary driver of these trends, with countries reliant on imports or experiencing currency volatility facing the most significant challenges. Nigeria specifically saw a marginal decrease in inflation from 15.93% in May to 15.91% in June, though the pace of disinflation remains slow.
