Share Share Share Share Send as Email

According to the latest report by the National Bureau of Statistics, the Consumer price index (CPI) which measures inflation increased by 12.56% year on year in June 2020. This represents a 0.16% increase compared to 12.40% recorded in May 2020.

The highest “all items” inflation was recorded in Bauchi at 15.02% YoY, while the lowest was recorded in Kwara. Whereas for “food inflation” Sokoto recorded the largest inflation at 17.88% with Bauchi recording the lowest at 12.86%

June inflation rate is the highest that has been recorded in Nigeria in 27 months, as the average prices of goods and services and continue to rice in the country.

On month-on-month basis, the headline index increased by 1.21% in June 2020, this is 0.04% rate higher than the 1.17% rate recorded in May 2020.

This rise is largely attributed to the increase in prices of goods and services emanating from the economic crisis of Covid-19 pandemic. The value of the naira has been dropping against the dollar and pounds, thus importers will spend more naira to acquire the same goods which will ultimately translate to a higher price for the consumers.

On month-on-month basis, the food sub-index increased by 1.48 percent in June 2020, up by 0.06 percent points from 1.42 percent recorded in May 2020.

In June 2020, food inflation on a year on year basis was highest in Sokoto (17.88%), Plateau (17.04%) and Abuja (16.82%), while Lagos (13.46%), Ogun (13.18%) and Bauchi (12.86%) recorded the slowest rise.

On month on month basis however, June 2020 food inflation was highest in Kogi (3.07%), Benue (2.41%) and Zamfara (2.24%), while Ondo (0.47%), Anambra (0.42%) and Lagos (0.18%) recorded the slowest rise.

The economic hardship in Nigeria is increasing with many people losing their jobs and several out of business, purchasing power of the general public is declining with limited income. The rise in inflation in June is the tenth consecutive month of increase, which continues to erode the value of money.

This means that the same amount of money will purchase limited amount of goods or services than it use to. This scenario presents a difficulty especially for fixed income earners, whose income is not moving in the same direction as the inflation.

The reduction in value of money also have adverse effects on cash assets especially the cash held at hand or in bank accounts.
