What this means

Nigeria’s inflation rate recorded its 8th consecutive moderation in November 2021, falling to its lowest level in 12 months. However, a 15.4% headline inflation rate implies that the purchasing power of Nigerians continues to weaken as a result of increase in the prices of goods and services.
