Mozambique’s annual inflation rate declined to 4.19% in January from 5.3% in December, hinting at a potential short-term easing of inflationary pressures. Separately, Ivory Coast’s inflation rate fell to 3.1% YoY in January from 3.9% the previous month, mainly due to a deceleration in food inflation, which dropped 0.2% MoM to 4.5% YoY.
