Niger’s inflation rate in 2025 stood at 4.20 percent, placing the country at 59th in global rankings and matching Jamaica’s contemporaneous figure while slightly above the Federated States of Micronesia’s 4.08 percent. This modest level follows a volatile historical path that includes an all‑time peak of 36.04 percent in 1994, a year marked by severe fiscal imbalances and external shocks, and an extraordinary trough of –7.80 percent in 1991, when deflation reflected a collapse in demand amid structural adjustment programmes. Over the 62‑year series, the average rate has trended downward from the early 1960s’ 1.00 percent baseline, illustrating the impact of monetary reforms and improved price stability mechanisms. Recent policy emphasis on fiscal discipline and diversified agricultural output has helped sustain inflation near the low‑single‑digit range. Continued investment in market infrastructure and resilience to commodity price swings will be crucial to maintaining this downward trajectory and preventing a resurgence of high inflation.
