Tanzania’s annual headline inflation eased to 4.0% in June 2026 from 4.2% in May, driven by a drop in food inflation to 4.1% from 5.6%, while transport prices continued to surge at 13.6% year-on-year as diesel, bus, taxi, and bodaboda fares recorded further increases. Core inflation rose to 3.7% from 3.4%, and the Services Index climbed to 5.4%, signaling broadening underlying price pressures, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The figure is measured by the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI), which tracks price changes across a fixed basket of 383 goods and services collected from households in all 26 regions of mainland Tanzania and serves as a key indicator for investors and businesses monitoring the cost environment in the country. The overall NCPI rose from 120.18 in June 2025 to 125.04 in June 2026, reflecting a gradual upward trend in the overall price level.
