    Headline inflation decreased by 0.59 per cent to 15.40 per cent in November, the Statistician-General of the Federation, Mr Simon Harry says.

    Harry, who made the announcement on Wednesday in Abuja during a media conference, also stated that the rebasing of the nation’s economy would take place in 2022 after completing the National Agricultural Sample Census (NASC).

    According to him, there has been a consistent decrease in inflation rate in the last eight months and the figure for November is a decrease from the 15.99 per cent recorded in October.

    “With this, it means that the declining trend for about eight months portends a positive signal given the favourable economic conditions, the rate of inflation in Nigeria would come down to a bearable level.”

    Harry said that on month-on-month basis, headline index increased by 1.08 per cent in November, which was 0.10 per cent higher than the 0.98 per cent recorded in October.

    The urban inflation rate increased by 15.92 per cent (year-on-year) in November from 15.47 per cent recorded in November 2020, while the rural inflation rate increased by 14.89 per cent in November from 14.33 per cent in November 2020.
