Rwanda's overall inflation rate eased for a third consecutive month in September 2025, hitting a six-month low of 6.2% in September 2025, compared to 6.4% in August. Prices slowed down mainly for food & non-alcoholic beverages (4% vs 5% in August) and clothing & footwear (5.4% vs 6.2%). By contrast, health prices continued to climb, rising to 62.5% from 62%, largely due to an unfavorable exchange rate, as the medical products used are mostly imported and purchased in foreign currency, especially dollars. Other significant increases were seen for restaurants & hotels (17.1% vs 16.8%); education (10.6% vs 5.5%); communication (17.6% vs 17.6%); alcoholic beverages (12.3% vs 11.5%); transportation (6.8% vs 5.5%); and housing & utilities (2.7% vs 1.9%). On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 1.3% in September, after a 0.7% increase in the prior month.
