Overview
Aruba's consumer price index stood at 109.53 in 2019, a rise of +4.47 from 2018. Aruba ranked 18th globally.
Aruba’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from 31.98 in 1980 to 109.53 in 2019, marking a 242 percent increase over the 37‑year series and positioning the island at 18th place globally in the latest year. The 2019 figure of 109.53 represents both the all‑time peak and the most recent observation, indicating that inflationary pressures have accelerated markedly since the early 1980s when the index was less than one‑third of its current level. Compared with peers of similar rank, Aruba’s CPI is marginally lower than France’s 110.05 and Croatia’s 109.82, yet slightly above Niger’s 109.32, suggesting that price dynamics on the island are broadly aligned with other high‑ranking economies. The steep upward trajectory reflects persistent demand growth, rising import costs, and limited domestic production capacity. Future CPI movements will likely hinge on the island’s ability to diversify its economic base and mitigate external price shocks, which could either temper or exacerbate the current inflationary trend.
