Overview

Algeria’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen from a trough of 2.57 in 1969 to a peak of 222.24 in 2025, reflecting 57 years of cumulative price pressure that places the country at rank 50 worldwide. The index’s trajectory mirrors the broader inflationary environment in North Africa, where neighboring South Africa recorded a CPI of 214.12 in the same year, underscoring regional similarities in price dynamics. The steep upward swing, especially pronounced since the early 2000s, signals persistent cost‑of‑living increases that have outpaced many peer economies. While the current level marks an all‑time high, future movements will hinge on the effectiveness of monetary policy, fiscal reforms, and external shocks such as commodity price volatility. Should Algeria tighten inflation targeting and diversify its economic base, the CPI could stabilise or even modestly recede, altering the present upward trajectory.
