Equatorial Guinea GDP Deflator
Inflation as measured by annual growth rate of GDP implicit deflator NY.GDP.DEFL.KD.ZG
Equatorial Guinea's gdp deflator was 4.87% in 2025, ranked 119th globally. This represents a 94.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1981–2025.
Overview
Equatorial Guinea's gdp deflator stood at 4.87% in 2025, a rise of +2.37pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.87% by 2025. Equatorial Guinea ranked 119th globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s GDP deflator has fallen dramatically from an early‑record 14.44 % in 1981 to a modest 4.87 % in 2025, placing the country 119th globally. The indicator surged to an all‑time high of 64.74 % in 2000, reflecting intense price pressures during a period of rapid oil‑driven expansion, before collapsing to a historic trough of –31.57 % in 1998 as global commodity prices slumped. Over the 45‑year series, the deflator’s volatility underscores the economy’s dependence on external demand and exchange‑rate fluctuations. By comparison, peers with similar rankings such as Tunisia (5.01 %) and the Philippines (4.84 %) have maintained relatively stable price environments, suggesting that diversification away from oil could temper Equatorial Guinea’s price swings. If fiscal reforms and non‑hydrocarbon sectors expand, the GDP deflator is likely to remain low and stable, supporting a more predictable inflation outlook in the coming years.
