Overview
El Salvador's consumer price index stood at 135.91 in 2025, a rise of +6.94 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 135.91 by 2025. El Salvador ranked 147th globally.
El Salvador’s consumer price index (CPI) has risen from a trough of 1.88 in 1961 to an all‑time peak of 135.91 in 2025, marking a 66‑year trajectory of cumulative price growth that places the country at rank 147 globally. The latest figure of 135.91 reflects persistent inflationary pressures, outpacing peers such as Ecuador (135.71) and closely matching Morocco (135.96). The steep ascent from the early 1960s coincides with structural shifts in monetary policy, fiscal deficits, and external shocks that have amplified price levels. While the CPI’s upward path suggests continued cost‑of‑living challenges, any credible anchoring of inflation through tighter monetary discipline or a stabilization program could moderate the trajectory and narrow the gap with regional counterparts.
