Rwanda’s consumer price inflation accelerated sharply in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 13.00% year-on-year, up from 9.20% in March 2026. The data, updated on 10 May 2026, highlight a significant pick-up in price pressures across the economy.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s CPI to the same month a year earlier. The jump from March to April signals that inflationary momentum is building, rather than easing, and may increase pressure on policymakers to reassess their stance on inflation control and support for households facing higher living costs.

Investors and analysts will be watching closely in the coming months to see whether April’s spike proves temporary or marks the start of a more persistent inflation trend in Rwanda’s economy.
