South Africa’s annual consumer price index (CPI) remained unchanged at 3.2% in February, according to the latest figures released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) on Wednesday.
This figure mirrors the inflation rate recorded in January, halting a trend of three consecutive monthly increases that followed last year’s low points.
The data reveals a mixed bag of inflationary pressures. Several sectors experienced higher annual rates in February, contributing to the overall figure.
These include recreation, sport and culture, food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages and tobacco, and communication.
Notable decreases were observed in personal care and miscellaneous services, health, restaurants and accommodation, furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance, and transport. The balance of these fluctuating rates has resulted in the overall holding pattern for the annual CPI.
