The 2009 Zambia inflation target for the year was set at 10 percent. Come December 2009, the target was surpassed!
Surprisingly, the country opened with an inflation rate in January 2009 of a double digit of 16 percent and in December 2009, it closed at a single digit of 9.9 percent.
By the end of the year, though inflation had been contained to manageable levels, the cost of living was not in tandem. For, example the cost of living in Lusaka was recorded at K 822,100, up by K 60,550 from the January 2009 figure of K 761,550.
The same trend was also noticed in other towns such as Solwezi, Kabwe, Kasama, Ndola, Kitwe and Livingstone.
