Botswana inflation eases to 3.8% in November as fuel prices stabilise

• Fuel-driven transport costs pull inflation lower in November
• Core measures signal caution for policymakers, analysts say

GABORONE, BOTSWANA – Botswana’s annual inflation slowed to 3.8% in November, easing marginally from October as lower fuel prices reduced transport costs and stabilised the broader price environment.

Data released showed inflation remained within the central bank’s medium-term comfort range, reinforcing expectations of near-term policy stability in one of southern Africa’s more resilient economies.
