The Ministry of Statistics and Reforms has released the inflation rate data for July 2026, indicating a projected downward trend for the coming months. According to the report, the inflation rate for July 2026 is forecast to reach 2.3% year-on-year. This projection shows a consistent deceleration from previous readings; in April 2026, the rate stood at 5.7%, followed by a decrease to 4.8% in May, and further to 3.4% in June.
While the overall trend suggests that inflation continues to moderate, the Ministry noted that month-over-month price increases were observed across all categories of goods produced and services rendered. This suggests that despite the slowing annual rate, price pressures remain active at a more granular level. The data provides a clearer picture of the inflationary trajectory, suggesting that the rate is expected to continue falling towards the 2.3% mark by July.
Analysts are closely monitoring the underlying components of this inflation data to understand the sustainability of the decline. The sustained reduction in the year-on-year inflation rate, from the 5.7% recorded in April to the anticipated 2.3% in July, indicates a cooling inflationary environment, although persistent monthly price increases warrant continued attention.
