Nigeria’s headline inflation has eased again — settling at 16.05% year-on-year in October.
This continuous slowdown signals a gradual cooling of price pressures across the economy.
Here’s the full breakdown:
• Headline Inflation (YoY): 16.05%
• Core Inflation (YoY): 18.69% — still elevated due to non-food items and energy-related costs
• Headline Inflation (MoM): 0.93% — slightly higher than September’s 0.72%
• Core Inflation (MoM): 1.416% — almost unchanged from 1.417% in September
• Food Inflation (YoY): 13.12% — reflecting an easing trend compared to earlier months
• Food Inflation (MoM): –0.37% — meaning food prices dipped slightly from September, though key items like onions, oranges, pineapple and vegetables still saw increases
For Nigerians, this means a bit of relief in everyday spending, especially on food.
For investors, it signals a shifting landscape: lower inflation often opens the door for stronger real returns and more strategic positioning.
