Overview
Malta's consumer price index stood at 137.12 in 2025, a rise of +5.70 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 137.12 by 2025. Malta ranked 142nd globally.
Malta’s consumer price index has risen dramatically over the 66‑year span covered by the World Bank series, climbing from a trough of 20.90 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 137.12 in 2025, a level that also places the island nation jointly at rank 142 globally. This upward trajectory mirrors the experience of fellow high‑rankers Italy and South Korea, both of which register the same 2025 index value of 137.12, highlighting a broader pattern of inflationary pressure among diversified economies. The steep increase reflects successive episodes of global oil shocks, fiscal stimulus during the 2008 financial crisis, and more recent pandemic‑related supply‑chain disruptions, each contributing to persistent price growth. While the index’s ascent suggests entrenched inflation, the trajectory could moderate if monetary policy tightens and external commodity price volatility recedes, offering a potential easing of price pressures in the coming years.
