“This is the first time in 12 months that fuel prices have increased on an annual basis. In other words, for the first time in a year, motorists are paying more for fuel than they were 12 months before,” says Chief Director for Price Statistics Patrick Kelly.
Meanwhile, headline consumer inflation quickened from 2.9% in February to 3.2% in March.
The slight increase means inflation is still within the South African Reserve Bank’s target range of 3–6%.
