Overview
Bahrain's consumer price index stood at 122.30 in 2025, a rise of +1.62 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 122.30 by 2025. Bahrain ranked 172nd globally.
Bahrain's Consumer Price Index has demonstrated volatility over the past six decades, with significant fluctuations in the cost of living. Notably, the index peaked in 2025 at 122.30, indicating a substantial increase in prices since the 1960s when the index stood at 17.97, its all-time trough. This growth outpaces that of peer countries such as Oman, which also saw a peak of 122.51 in 2025. The trend suggests that Bahrain's economy has experienced rising inflationary pressures in recent years. The CPI's current value of 122.30, ranking 172 globally, highlights the need for policymakers to address these pressures. A potential shift in the trajectory could be driven by changes in global oil prices, given Bahrain's reliance on hydrocarbon exports. A decline in oil prices, for instance, could lead to reduced inflation and a more stable economic environment.
