This month’s relief has not erased the annual pressure
Every product became cheaper this month. Every product is still more than a third dearer than a year ago.
Diesel

- -7.2% · cheaper

- +33.9% · dearer
Kerosene fell furthest this month and remains the most elevated from a year earlier. The EWURA schedule records that divergence, but does not isolate its cause.

How much of the 40.8% can the current record measure?
- Same-date USD/TZS move
- +6.8%
- Unattributed difference
- +34.0%
This is not a causal contribution estimate. The current governed record can compare the shilling with the diesel cap, but it lacks the complete world-product and tax series required to allocate the change by cause.
