Uganda's headline inflation decreased to 2.6 percent in July of 2019 from 3.4 percent in the previous month. It is the lowest inflation since December of 2018, mainly due to a steep decline in communications costs (-10 percent vs 14.5 percent in June) and slowdown in prices of transport (8.1 percent vs 11.2 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices decreased 0.4 percent, after a 0.1 percent drop in the previous month.
