Overview
Pakistan's consumer price index stood at 431.74 in 2025, a rise of +44.93 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 431.74 by 2025. Pakistan ranked 21st globally.
Pakistan’s Consumer Price Index reached 431.74 in 2025, marking its all-time peak and reflecting sustained inflationary pressures over six decades since records began at 2.07 in 1960. Over this 66-year period, the index expanded more than 200-fold, with the most pronounced acceleration occurring in recent years amid currency depreciation, rising energy costs, and fiscal imbalances. In the global ranking, Pakistan stands at 21st, positioned between São Tomé and Principe at 423.97 and Burundi at 418.02, indicating inflation levels comparable to economies facing similar macroeconomic challenges. The 2025 peak surpasses all prior highs, underscoring the severity of current price instability relative to historical trends. Unlike earlier periods marked by moderate fluctuations, the recent trajectory suggests structural weaknesses in inflation management. Without decisive monetary tightening, improved fiscal discipline, and enhanced supply-side resilience, the current upward trend in consumer prices is likely to persist, potentially pushing the index to higher levels in the coming years.
