Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's consumer price index stood at 147.95 in 2025, a rise of +5.70 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 147.95 by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 115th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen from 79.57 in 1998 to an all‑time high of 147.95 in 2025, placing the nation at rank 115 globally and just behind peers such as Croatia (148.27) and Equatorial Guinea (147.79). The 86.2‑point increase over 28 years reflects persistent inflationary pressures, driven by higher import costs, tourism‑linked price shocks, and limited domestic production capacity. While the CPI trajectory mirrors broader Caribbean trends, the island’s small, open economy makes it especially vulnerable to external commodity price swings and exchange‑rate fluctuations, which have amplified price growth since the early 2020s. Compared with New Zealand’s 148.45 and Hong Kong SAR’s 147.60, Antigua and Barbuda’s index remains slightly lower, suggesting modest relative price stability despite similar exposure to global shocks. Continued fiscal discipline, diversification of the economic base, and targeted monetary measures could moderate future CPI movements, but persistent external volatility may keep upward pressure on consumer prices.
