Panama’s Consumer Price Index stood at 131.29 in 2025, matching its all-time peak recorded in the same year and reflecting sustained price level increases over six decades, up from a trough of 25.71 in 1960. Over this 66-year period, the index demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, indicative of persistent inflationary pressures and evolving macroeconomic conditions. The 2025 value places Panama at rank 160 globally, aligning closely with peer nations such as France, which recorded a CPI of 131.40, suggesting comparable price level developments despite differing economic structures. Belize shared the exact 2025 CPI of 131.29, underscoring regional similarities in inflation dynamics. While the index has steadily climbed, particularly in recent decades, the attainment of an all-time high in 2025 signals that inflation management remains a critical challenge. Future trends will likely depend on monetary policy effectiveness, exchange rate stability, and external price shocks, particularly in imported goods, given Panama’s dollarized economy. Absent structural reforms or favorable global conditions, the trajectory may continue upward.
