Price Database—July 2012:
This note provides our regular quarterly update of price levels for a wide range of goods and
services in Addis Ababa. As usual, a total of 184 prices have been compiled under nine broad
categories and the data collection exercise was conducted in collaboration with Horizon Ethiopia.
The latest price data reveal double-digit year-on-year price increases for just over half of
surveyed goods and services (or 93 out of 184 items). Most prominent among the commoditiesshowing double-digit price increases are construction machinery rentals (i.e., dozers &
excavators), local wooden building materials and certain fruits & vegetables (i.e., onions,
bananas). More than a third of the items (37 percent) in the survey show year-on-year price
declines. Notable year-on-year price declines were observed in certain widely used constructionand building materials (i.e., cement & reinforcement bars) and urban land lease prices across
town.
On the basis of weights utilized for Addis Ababa’s official price index, we calculate an 18 percent
average year-on-year inflation rate for the 184 commodities and services covered in our city-wide
survey. This inflation estimate stands close to the 19 percent year-on-year inflation reported for
Addis Ababa by the Central Statistical Agency for July 2012. Looking at food price trends alone,
our survey shows year-on-year food inflation in Addis Ababa at 32 percent somewhat higher than
the 25 percent year-on-year food inflation reported by the CSA during this period.
For the fourth time now, our survey included questions on price expectations for the coming
quarter. More specifically, for all 184 prices surveyed, we asked retailers and businesses whatprice levels they anticipate in about three months time, namely in October 2012. The survey
reveals an expectation of continued price rises for 23 percent (or 42 out of 184) of surveyed
commodities and services. The expected quarterly inflation rate for all products is in the single-
digits, at 2.5 percent, held down largely by an expected negative inflation of rate of -6.1 percent
anticipated for food items, understandably due to seasonal effects. As this is only a quarterly
figure, however, the implied inflation expectation from our business survey translates to an
annual inflation rate of about 10 percent (i.e., 2.5 times 4) for the period ahead. This is somewhat
lower than Access Capital’s projections of 12 percent year-on-year inflation for end-December2012 and what we anticipate will be an inflation rate in the low teens for most of 2013.
