This resurgence is comparable to that of the United States Virgin Islands, which also posted a 7.05% GDP deflator in 2025. The significant inflation spikes of the past have been attributed to various economic shocks and policy responses. A notable exception is the economic downturn of the 1980s, which led to a brief period of deflation. The current trajectory of Burkina Faso's GDP deflator is likely to be influenced by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the country's response to global commodity price fluctuations.
