When we look back at 2020, it’s just two months when we got a reduction in inflation and the rest of the months of the year, the inflation would rise. And you can attribute this to the kwacha as well. Last year, the kwacha was the worst performing currency, and because of that, our weakened kwacha and Zambia being an import-dependent country, we saw a sharp rise in the prices of goods and services and this is where our concern stems from.
