The inflation figure for December 2024 is expected to rise further on the back of price pressure.
This was revealed in the Cowry Weekly Financial Markets Review & Outlook published over the weekend, which projected that inflation would hit 35.20 per cent in December.
Nigeria’s inflation rate rose to 34.60 per cent in November 2024, according to the data reported by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics in its last Consumer Price Index.
The figure marks a 0.72 per cent rise from the 33.88 per cent recorded in October 2024. The rise is largely driven by food price increases, which continue to place a strain on Nigerian households.
Inflation has continued to rise despite the hawkish stance of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which has seen it hike interest rates by more than 800 bps in 2024. At the close of the year, the benchmark interest rate was 27.50 per cent.
The analysts said, “Early projections from Cowry Research suggest a rise in headline inflation to 35.20 per cent, up from 34.60 per cent recorded in November 2024. This marks a continuation of the inflationary trend observed over the past months. The annual average inflation rate for 2024 is also expected to climb significantly, reaching 33.21 per cent, compared to 24.52 per cent in the preceding year, underscoring persistent price pressures across the economy.
“Several factors have contributed to this anticipated rise in inflation. The festive season played a critical role, as heightened demand for goods, services, travel, and accommodation during the holiday period exerted significant upward pressure on prices. This seasonal spike in spending added to an already challenging inflationary environment, driven by structural and economic issues.”
Highlighting some of the reasons inflationary pressures have proven resistant, Cowry Assets analysts stated, “Structural bottlenecks such as inadequate infrastructure, high energy costs, and logistical inefficiencies continue to undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy measures, leaving consumers and businesses grappling with escalating costs.”
The experts also warned that while inflationary pressures may begin to moderate in 2025 due to base effects, “the method of financing the Federal Government’s projected budget deficit of N13.08tn for 2025 could create additional inflationary pressure.”
Food inflation has also continued to be a major driver of overall inflation. In November 2024, it surged to 39.93 per cent year-on-year, compared to 32.84 in November 2023, and this trend was expected to persist into December. Imported food inflation has also seen a steady increase, reflecting the higher costs of commodities such as fish, rice, and dairy products due to global price trends and local currency challenges. Core inflation has equally exhibited an upward trajectory, reaching a historic high of 28.75 per cent year-on-year in November.
