Nigeria’s Headline Inflation rate declined to 15.15% in December 2025, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The adjusted figure, which uses a 12-month index reference period, is higher than the 14.45% reported in November.
The NBS attributed the change to a methodological adjustment, maximizing the index reference period to reflect current inflationary realities.
