Kenya’s inflation rose from 4.95% in October to 5.56% in November. At the same time, East African notes that Tanzania’s inflation rose by 0.2% in November. Uganda’s annual headline inflation rose 3 percent in November from 2.5% in October 2019 while Rwanda’s inflation grew by 2.5%.

The cost of food rose across the board, which explains the rising inflation in East Africa. In Kenya, the cost of a 2kg maize flour packet rose from KSh 125.4 in October to KSh 130.77 in November. Similarly, Tanzania’s price for a kilo of beef rose from between TSh 5,000 and 5,500 to TSh 6,3000 in the past two months. However, Uganda saw its food prices maintain a 0% inflation in November from a drop of 0.9% twelve months to October. This is because vegetables inflation rose by 0.9% whereas inflation of fruits fell from 8.1% to 7.7%.

Additionally, the price of non-food items also increased in the past two months. In Kenya, the cost of transport grew by 0.29% whereas Tanzania recorded an increase of 12.5% for the transport sector.
