Inflation forecasts have been revised downwards for the short-term but remain on the upward trajectory. The downward revision is as a result of a combination of lower than anticipated inflation figures received for February 2021 coupled with the lower than expected increase in domestic utility tariffs.The global roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines, which is expected to restore economic activity, is anticipated to result in higher oil prices and therefore exerting inflationary pressures on domestic prices.
