LUSAKA (Reuters) - Inflation in Zambia fell to 8.1
percent in November from 8.7 percent in October due mainly to a reduction in
fuel prices introduced by new President Michael Sata,
its statistics agency said on Thursday.
A poll
of 10 analysts surveyed by Reuters this week said inflation in Africa's
biggest copper producer should average 9 percent in 2011, before slowing to
an average of 7.9 percent in 2012.
Chibamba Kanyama, a member of
the Economic Association of Zambia, said inflation was likely to remain
stable in the next few months despite an expected increase in consumption in
the final month of the year.
