Overview
Iraq's consumer price index stood at 133.88 in 2025, a rise of +11.28 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 133.88 by 2025. Iraq ranked 155th globally.
Iraq’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 133.88 in 2025, placing it 155th in the World Bank’s global ranking and reflecting a modest rise from the 59.06 recorded in 1960. The index surged to an all‑time peak of 139.78 in 2023 after decades of volatility, most dramatically illustrated by the trough of 0.03 in 1990, a low point linked to the collapse of domestic markets during the Gulf War period. Over the 55‑year coverage span, Iraq’s inflation trajectory has been more erratic than that of peers such as Denmark (133.32) and Ireland (134.17), whose CPI figures have remained comparatively stable. The recent upward swing suggests that persistent fiscal deficits and external price shocks continue to pressure consumer prices, while any substantive reforms in subsidy policy or monetary tightening could moderate the upward bias. Continued monitoring will reveal whether the current trend stabilises or accelerates in the coming years.
