Overview
Liberia's consumer price index stood at 486.52 in 2025, a rise of +28.61 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 486.52 by 2025. Liberia ranked 18th globally.
Liberia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has surged from 41.03 in 2001 to 486.52 in 2025, placing the country 18th globally and marking an all‑time peak in the latest year. This more than ten‑fold increase over 25 years reflects persistent inflationary pressures, driven by currency depreciation, fiscal deficits and supply‑side constraints in food and fuel markets. The upward trajectory mirrors that of regional peers such as Zambia, whose CPI stood at 462.23, and exceeds Guinea’s 455.59, underscoring a broader pattern of price volatility across West Africa. While the early 2000s showed modest price levels, the post‑2010 period witnessed accelerating inflation, particularly after 2014 when global commodity shocks amplified domestic cost pressures. Continued fiscal consolidation, stronger monetary policy coordination and improvements in agricultural productivity could temper the rise, but without such measures the CPI is likely to maintain its upward bias in the near term.
