Overview
Montenegro's consumer price index stood at 162.65 in 2025, a rise of +11.39 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 162.65 by 2025. Montenegro ranked 92nd globally.
Montenegro’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from 82.21 in 2005 to 162.65 in 2025, marking a 97.7 % increase over the 21‑year series and placing the country 92nd globally in the latest World Bank compilation. The 2025 figure of 162.65 represents both the current level and the all‑time peak, surpassing the CPI of neighboring North Macedonia (165.78) and closely matching Comoros (162.31). The upward trajectory reflects sustained inflationary pressures, driven by higher energy costs, currency depreciation and expanding domestic demand since the mid‑2010s. While the index more than doubled since the trough in 2005, the pace of growth has accelerated in the last five years, outpacing many peers in the Balkans and the wider Eastern European region. Continued moderation of fiscal deficits and a more anchored monetary policy could temper future CPI movements, but persistent external shocks would likely keep the upward trend intact.
