Consumer price inflation, annual % FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG
Brazil's inflation rate was 5.19% in 2025, ranked 41st globally. This represents a 18.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Brazil's inflation rate stood at 5.19% in 2025, a rise of +0.82pp from 2024. The IMF projects 5.19% by 2025. Brazil ranked 41st globally.
Brazil's inflation rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the 46-year period from 1980 to 2025. The all-time peak of 2947.73% in 1990, during a period of hyperinflation, remains a stark contrast to the all-time trough of 3.20% in 1998, when Brazil implemented economic stabilization reforms. The inflation rate has generally trended downward since then, but has not yet reached pre-1990 levels. In 2025, Brazil's inflation rate stood at 5.19%, ranking 41st globally. Compared to its peer countries, Brazil's inflation rate is slightly lower than that of Tunisia, which ranked 34th globally with a rate of 5.91%. The current inflation rate of 5.19% is a relatively manageable level, but Brazil's history of high inflation suggests that policymakers must remain vigilant to prevent a resurgence of inflationary pressures. A decline in global commodity prices or a sustained improvement in economic growth could further reduce inflation and solidify Brazil's economic stability.
