Overview
Maldives's consumer price index stood at 147.33 in 2025, a rise of +2.69 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 147.33 by 2025. Maldives ranked 119th globally.
Maldives’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen dramatically from an early‑year level of 24.80 in 1985 to 147.33 in 2025, the highest reading recorded in the series and placing the nation at 119th out of 190 economies in the World Bank database. This more than five‑fold increase reflects persistent inflationary pressures, particularly during the post‑COVID‑19 recovery and the surge in tourism‑linked demand that characterised the early 2020s. The 2025 CPI of 147.33 is virtually identical to the peak levels observed in peer small‑island economies such as Fiji (146.58) and the Republic of Congo (146.80), underscoring a regional pattern of price escalations driven by imported fuel costs and limited domestic production capacity. While the long‑term upward trajectory suggests that price growth may remain elevated, continued diversification of the Maldivian economy and targeted subsidies on essential goods could moderate future CPI movements.
