Nigeria’s annual inflation quickened to its highest level in five and a half years in June, official data showed on Friday, driven by rising prices of staples like bread, rice and maize and the cost of diesel, which is used to generate power.

Food prices, a major headline component for Nigerian inflation, were up 20.6% year-on-year in June. Core inflation, which excludes prices of farm produce, was up 2.66 percentage points to 15.75% during the period. Inflation, at its highest since January 2017, and the state of the economy are major issues for voters as the country heads for a national election in February, when incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari will step down.

“The combined effect of power costs, exchange rate depreciation and money supply saturation is manifesting in a spiralling inflationary cycle,” Financial Derivatives Company said in a note to clients.
