Botswana’s consumer price inflation accelerated in May 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 10.7% year-on-year, up from 10.3% in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 15 June 2026, indicate that price pressures in the economy remain elevated and are continuing to build.

Both the April and May readings compare the change in prices to the same months a year earlier, underscoring a persistent trend of double-digit inflation. The uptick from April to May suggests that cost increases are not yet moderating, a development that may keep inflation firmly in focus for policymakers, businesses, and consumers in the coming months.

With the May figure marking a fresh year-on-year high within this comparison period, market participants will be watching upcoming data closely for signs of whether inflation in Botswana is nearing a peak or becoming more entrenched at elevated levels.
