Producer price inflation in South Africa slowed to 2.2% year on year in January, down from 2.9% in December, according to official data released on Thursday. The figures indicate a significant cooling of price pressures at the factory gate level as the new year began.
On a monthly basis, the Producer Price Index (PPI) recorded a contraction of 0.2% in January. The data, provided by Statistics South Africa, highlights a shift in the inflationary environment that could have broader implications for the national economy.
