Inflation on a year on year basis was highest in Bayelsa (13.32%), Zamfara (13.23%) and Ekiti (13.18%).

Kwara (9.12%) Ogun (8.71%), and Cross River (8.21%) recorded the slowest rise in headline Year on Year inflation.

Ogun (0.07%) had the least with Kwara and Edo recording negative inflation or price deflation (general decrease in the general price level of goods and services or an egative inflation rate) in December 2018.

A step closer to MPR raise

The consistent increase in inflation may sway members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to consider an increase in the Monetary Policy, at the first MPC meeting.

In the event of that not happening, MPC members could consider a raise after the elections.

Treasury bill yields may inch up

In the event of the MPC maintaining a hold recommendation on interest rate, the CBN could decide to increase yields on treasury bills.
