The annual inflation rate in Malawi climbed to 9.6 percent in October 2019 from 9.2 percent in the previous month. It was the highest inflation rate since last December. Food prices rose the most in nearly 3 years (16 percent vs 13.9 percent in September), amid reduced inventories of maize, as some traders have begun hoarding the commodity in anticipation of higher prices later in the year. Meanwhile, inflation slowed for non-food products (4.3 percent vs 5.4 percent), in particular transport (4.4 percent vs 5.5 percent); housing & utilities (2.3 percent vs 4.4 percent) and clothing & footwear (6.9 percent vs 7.3 percent).

The annual inflation rate in Malawi rose to 9.3 percent in March 2019 from 7.9 percent in the prior month, hitting its highest level in three months. In particular, food inflation climbed to 14.4 percent from 10.8 percent in the previous month, reaching the highest level since April 2017, amid food shortages linked to the Cyclone Idai devastation. On a monthly basis, consumer prices went up 0.4 percent, following a 1.3 percent rise in February.
