Overview
Belgium's consumer price index stood at 149.85 in 2025, a rise of +7.69 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 149.85 by 2025. Belgium ranked 109th globally.
Belgium’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen from 15.60 in 1960 to 149.85 in 2025, reflecting a 862 percent increase over 66 years of World Bank coverage. The 2025 figure represents an all‑time peak and places Belgium at rank 109 globally, just below the Netherlands (150.16) and marginally above Costa Rica (149.80). The long‑term upward trajectory mirrors persistent inflationary pressures common to advanced economies, while the early low level illustrates the price stability of the post‑war period. Although the CPI has accelerated in recent decades, the gap with neighboring peers remains narrow, suggesting that regional monetary policies continue to exert similar influence. Future movements will likely depend on European Central Bank decisions and commodity price shocks, which could either temper or reinforce the current inflationary path.
