Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe’s annual inflation rate, measured in ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold), edged up to 92.5% in June 2025, according to the latest figures released by the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) on Friday.Zimbabwean cultural tours
The June data shows a slight rise from May’s 92.1% and April’s 85.7%, highlighting continued price pressures across key economic sectors.
However, monthly inflation decelerated, dropping to 0.3% in June from 0.9% in May — an indication of easing short-term price growth.Zimstat attributed the June price increases mainly to rising costs in rentals and utilities such as water, fuel, and communication services.
Prices measured in U.S. dollars also showed a modest uptick in annual inflation, rising to 14% in June from 13.9% the previous month.
Month-on-month, USD inflation remained in negative territory at -0.2%, a slight improvement from -0.3% in May.
The main contributors to the price movement in USD terms were food and non-alcoholic beverages, according to the report. Zimstat said:
The ZWG month-on-month inflation rate was 0.3 per cent in June 2025, shedding 0.6 percentage points on the May 2025 rate of 0.9%. The ZWG year-on-year inflation rate (annual percentage change) for the month of June 2025, as measured by the all-items ZWG Consumer Price Index (CPI), was 92.5%.
The weighted year-on-year inflation rate, as measured by the all-items USD Consumer Price Index (CPI), stood at 27.1% in June 2025.
According to Zimstat, the Food Poverty Line (FPL) for one person in June was ZiG 874.23, while the Total Consumption Poverty Line (TCPL) was ZiG 1,280.05.
Despite rising inflation figures, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) recently urged the public to disregard the sharp annual ZiG inflation rates, arguing that they do not reflect real-time pricing dynamics.Zimbabwean cultural tours
The RBZ projects that ZiG inflation will remain elevated until September, after which it is expected to decline, potentially reaching 30% by the end of the year.
