Cambodia Consumer Price Index

Cambodia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from 44.87 in 1994 to an all‑time high of 155.44 in 2025, placing the country at 99th in the world ranking and surpassing peers such as the United Kingdom (155.32) and Kosovo (155.72). The index’s trough occurred in 1995 at 44.51, reflecting the low‑inflation environment of the mid‑1990s, while the subsequent three‑decade trajectory has been marked by persistent upward pressure as the economy expanded and monetary policy adjusted to fiscal reforms. Over the 32‑year coverage period, the CPI increase of more than threefold signals a shift from a largely agrarian price structure toward broader consumer demand and higher cost of living, consistent with regional trends in emerging Southeast Asian markets. Continued moderation of global commodity prices and disciplined fiscal policy could temper the upward momentum, but without such shocks the CPI is likely to maintain its gradual ascent in the coming years.
