In a release dated yesterday, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) unveiled the inflation data for November. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) Report for the month sheds light on significant trends in consumer prices and inflation rates. The year-on-year inflation rate, as measured by the CPI, experienced a slight dip of 0.1 percentage points, decreasing from October’s 6.9% to 6.8%.

Noteworthy influences on this month’s inflation include a 13.6% surge in the Transport sector, an 8.5% increase in Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas, and other fuels, and a 7.6% rise in Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages.

Within the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages category, a 0.4% increase was observed. Tomatoes saw a notable rise of 17.7%, along with increases in oranges by 3.8% and wheat flour by 3.3%. Conversely, prices decreased for potatoes by 7.1%, maize flour-sifted by 6.5%, and cabbages by 3.6%.

In the Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas, and Other Fuels category, the index increased by 0.2%, primarily driven by higher prices for gas and cement at 1.1%. However, electricity prices (200 kWh and 50 kWh) decreased by 1.0% and 1.2%, respectively. Additionally, the price of a liter of kerosene dropped by 1.0%. The Transport Index saw a slight decrease in November 2023, primarily due to a 1.0% drop in diesel prices.

These indicators offer insights into the cost of living, aiding individuals and businesses in making informed financial decisions. Reduced inflation can have mixed effects, potentially indicating less pressure for businesses to increase prices while also suggesting a slowdown in economic activity. For consumers, it signifies relief from rapid price increases.

Looking ahead, the outlook for the inflation rate in the coming months appears positive, contingent on the fuel prices that the Energy, Petroleum, and Regulatory Authority will announce for December. Lowered fuel prices would lead to a easing of the inflation rate, while an increase would have the opposite effect.
