Overview
Dominica's gdp deflator stood at 3.95% in 2025, a rise of +1.56pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.95% by 2025. Dominica ranked 139th globally.
Dominica’s GDP deflator has fallen from a high of 17.96% in 1979 to a low of –5.96% in 2003, reflecting a long‑term swing in domestic price levels over the 48‑year series. By 2025 the deflator stood at 3.95%, placing the island nation at rank 139 globally and matching the contemporary level recorded for the Solomon Islands, while Cabo Verde posted a slightly lower 3.89% and the Faroe Islands also reported 3.95%. The pronounced peak in the late 1970s coincided with worldwide oil shocks and regional fiscal expansions, whereas the trough in the early 2000s corresponded with a contraction in tourism and agricultural output that suppressed demand. Since the 2003 nadir, the deflator has gradually risen, indicating modest inflationary pressures as the economy diversifies and external demand recovers. Continued resilience in tourism and stronger fiscal management could sustain this upward trajectory, while a resurgence of commodity price volatility would likely reverse it.
