Overview

Mauritania’s Consumer Price Index has risen dramatically over the 41‑year series, climbing from a trough of 20.90 in 1985 to an all‑time peak of 178.97 in 2025, which places the country at rank 77 globally. The index’s trajectory reflects persistent inflationary pressures, with the latest figure of 178.97 closely mirroring the levels recorded in peer economies such as Poland (179.17) and Indonesia (178.05). This upward swing suggests that price growth has outpaced many comparable developing markets, driven by factors including currency depreciation, elevated food prices and fiscal deficits. While the index remains well above its early‑year baseline, the pace of increase has shown signs of moderation in recent years as monetary policy has tightened and external commodity prices have steadied. Continued stabilization of exchange rates and targeted subsidies could temper further inflation, potentially flattening the CPI trend in the medium term.
