Tanzania's annual inflation rate was unchanged at 12.1 percent in September, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Thursday.
"Annual headline inflation rate for the year ended September 2009 has stagnated at 12.1 percent as that registered in the year ended August 2009," NBS said in a statement on its website.
Like neighbouring Uganda and Kenya, Tanzania has experienced double digit inflation since last year due to higher commodity prices.
Food inflation eased slightly to 17.3 percent from 18.9 percent in August, NBS said.
Tanzania's annual inflation rate crossed into double digits last September for the first time in nearly ten years.
Excluding food, the rate of inflation rose to 4.0 percent from 2.0 percent in August.
Tanzania's average annual inflation rate stood at 10.3 percent in 2008, or 6.7 percent excluding food.
