Overview
Djibouti's inflation rate stood at 1.55% in 2025, a decline of +0.53pp from 2024. The IMF projects 1.55% by 2025. Djibouti ranked 155th globally.
Djibouti’s inflation rate has undergone significant fluctuations over the past four decades, ranging from an all-time high of 18.15% in 1986 to a trough of -2.41% in 1982, reflecting periods of economic instability and adjustment. In 2025, inflation stood at 1.54%, ranking the country 155th globally, a level comparable to peer nations such as Iraq at 1.53% and the Philippines at 1.61%. This contrasts sharply with the double-digit inflation rates observed in the 1980s, particularly the peak in 1986, which likely stemmed from structural economic challenges and external shocks common in small, import-dependent economies. Since the early 2000s, Djibouti has maintained relatively low and stable inflation, supported by its currency peg to the U.S. dollar and prudent monetary management. The current rate suggests continued price stability, though vulnerabilities remain due to reliance on food and energy imports. Future inflation trends could shift notably if port expansion projects spur domestic demand or if global commodity prices rise sharply. Sustained stability will depend on external account management and fiscal discipline.
