Overview
Equatorial Guinea's consumer price index stood at 147.79 in 2025, a rise of +3.41 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 147.79 by 2025. Equatorial Guinea ranked 116th globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from 37.87 in 1985 to an all‑time peak of 147.79 in 2025, placing the country 116th globally among 41‑year series. The trough of 27.08 recorded in 1987 marks the lowest point of price stability before a prolonged inflationary climb that accelerated in the 1990s and intensified after the early 2000s, reflecting repeated fiscal expansions and volatile oil revenues. The 2025 level of 147.79 is virtually identical to the CPI of peer economies such as Antigua and Barbuda (147.95) and Hong Kong SAR, China (147.60), underscoring a shared experience of high price growth among small, open economies with limited diversification. Persistent external shocks, especially fluctuations in global oil prices, have sustained upward pressure on domestic costs, while modest monetary tightening has had limited impact. If fiscal reforms curtail public spending and diversify export bases, the upward trajectory of the CPI could moderate, allowing inflation to drift toward more sustainable levels.
