The country’s inflation rate has dropped to 8.3 percent from 8.4 percent, latest statistics show.
Figures released on Wednesday by the National Statistical Office (NSO) show a 0.1 percent decrease in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
It is believed that inflation has fell by a small value due to the increase in non-food inflation from 11.6 percent in September to 11.7 percent in October.
During the same period last year Malawi’s inflation rate was 20.1 percent.
The country’s inflation rate only reached single digit in August this year which was the first time in six years.
Economic experts earlier said that the continued drop of the inflation rate will reduce the speed of the rise in commodity prices.
Ngati simukuziwa kuti inflation ndi chani u better ask anthu akuphunziseni anyani inu
Inu ingotiuzani zoona apa ambirife kusukulu sitinapiteko. Mwina mukufuna kutiuza kuti tsano thumba lafetereza tizigula k8000, buledi k150, sugar k500 kapena ndi zomwe zikutathauza pamenepo
Mzinamiza osagela inflation plan yofuna kuba imeneyo kusika kwa mandasi kapena masamba deflation palibe enanu ndimolaro chabe mavuto mkuwawonera limoz bweran Ku Botswana mzawone kuyendesa kwa ziko president wanuyo akuchosa ndalama moopya
Izi za inflation kut uzisziwe zimaonanso level ya makalasi osakhala ndi ma j c drop out kut anga aziwe ai.
Ukunena zoonaa monga ine ndikuona ngati akuti ndalama yagwa kkkk
Is it automatic that when inflation rate is down then prices go down? I think what it means is that businesses will become favorable. Once businesses are grown further with even more effort commodities will subsequently become affordable. It is not as 2 is equal to 2, nope. Realizing from a grown economy is a result of even more work. If from lallygagging I get a job and get my first salary that is just a green-light of future goodies it doesn’t mean I have automatically solved my poverty, I steal have a long way to buy a nice shirt and pair of shoes. Similarly the single digit inflation is a green-light of the goodies lying ahead of us. We have to seize this opportunity and work even harder. Malawians are fast becoming fastidious, very finicky.
Mukutinamiza basi bodza ili
Inflation rate going down and gen-set economics improves!!!
In malawi inflation only decreases on paper…not in reality
Kachirombo kamene muli kukachemerera tsiku ndi tsiku ine phindu lake sindikuliona. Zinthu mitengo yeke yogulira ikuthufukira mwamba tsiku ndi tsiku.
Inflation in Malawi, I don’t know how it works and its impacts on daily livelihood..kkkkk.. I’m sorry.
Fake. Amid raising of key commodities?
Don’t be deceived, this is just on paper. Palibe chosinthika.
And prices are going up
Where?
Water board prices up 15% domestic use, 20% commercial use. Prices of basic commodities like sugar, bread…are also going up. Koma inu simungazidziwe iwe, mumangokhalira kutsutsa the TRUTH. Mumangokhalira kunena to those who speaks the truth kuti they hate your leader. But remember, 5-1 was just the pic of the iceberg. What you saw is on the surface, yanganani mmadzimo, a bigger ice block is gonna break your failed party in 2019.
Addition on those 15% and 20% they also introduced 16.5% VAT Making Water very expensive and yet they busy professing about inflation going down….Dzuka Malawi
it hasnt been easy, this has been achieved with our backs against the wall….bravo government you deserve a big big pat on the back
Inde inde
thus a good news , we are moving forward as a nation ,when inflation was at 24% why then were you so quiet?? you mean you were so happy with that rate???? you hypocritical leaders you don’t love your country, your minds are full of hates for nothing…..just remember this,people will treat you very same way you have treated the Great one professor Peter muthalika if you win 2019……mukuchenjera pagona tizaona podzuka……God bless mother Malawi and bless our visionary leader muthalika..
If u dont know the meaning of inflation and how it works please stay away from the argument
Coz reduction of inflation does not mean a decrease of pricing in the short run
Really ?wats the meaning of inflation urself
Then ,there is nothing to celebrate. Its meaningless
Inflation has to do with the rate of price increase not price reduction rate itself
And if the inflation rate is low automatically the bank rate comes down hence the interest rates
This helps in borrowing from the banks which boosts investments hence increases production of goods n services in a long run and when their is an increase in production n the demand is fixed princing reduces but this is in the long run not lero ndi lero so it is worthy celebrating
If inflation increases wat happens to the price of goods
just take it as the rate of the increase basi baba
As Such, RBM Must Introduce K10000 banknote, Sichoncho A Godall Gondwe..?
Useless and ignorantic analysis
koma madzi nkuwakwezanso hahahaha
Most MCP members do not know what inflation is thats why they are making such a noise. Spare your time and learn thw terms Deflation and Inflation

Go see people living in the rural areas..
HEY U FOOLS LERO LOMWE WATERBOARD WAKWEZA NDI 15% kumati zinthu zisika fodya eti, mwandikwiyisaso bwanji
Malawi inflation going down is so synthetic not the ones we know that makes buying power less hectic! Everything in Malawi is for political gains as is always rhetoric!
Where is the conscience of those people responsible for conceptualizing and compiling such kind of provocative data? This isn’t humane. Surprisingly, some NGOs rely on such politically doctored data when making decisions to effect salary increments. Malawi today!
Drop of inflation does not have any benefit to poor Malawians,commodities increase day and night,prolonged blackouts,low maize prices.Life is miserable.
Akunamiza a lomwe omwewo
On paper for sure
48 hrs no escom power.
Asaaa.kusowa zolemba eti
Ziuzani opusa omwewo ine ayi. Mmene ndikuvutikira panomo ndiye muzindisokosa ndi za inflation zanuzo?
Why cheat Malawians? Where do you get your data? Everybody knows that prices are increasing at an alarming rate!!! Reason: extremely erratic power supply creates more downtime for industries thus causing shortage of goods and services on the market!!! Are you halfbaked economists? Check the law of supply vs demand!!!
Is it automatic that when inflation rate is down then prices go down? I think what it means is that businesses will become favorable and once businesses are grown further with even more effort commodities will subsequently become affordable. It is not as 2=2, nope.
go and calculate those figures on the real ground, not that paper and theoretical work. That’s when u will realise what Malawi is going thru.
Mbava izi kumangonaniza anthu osauka mxxxxxiiii
