Overview
Timor-Leste's consumer price index stood at 192.05 in 2025, a rise of +10.94 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 192.05 by 2025. Timor-Leste ranked 63rd globally.
Timor‑Leste’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen sharply over the 24‑year series, moving from a trough of 66.52 in 2002 to an all‑time peak of 192.05 in 2025, placing the nation at rank 63 globally. The acceleration accelerated after 2010, reflecting persistent inflationary pressures tied to rapid fiscal expansion and import‑dependent consumption. By 2025 the CPI is only marginally lower than that of Papua New Guinea (193.49) and Romania (191.84), underscoring a convergence with middle‑income economies that face similar external price shocks. The steep climb suggests that price stability remains fragile, with domestic monetary policy constrained by limited financial market depth. Should the government strengthen fiscal discipline and diversify supply chains, the upward trajectory could moderate; otherwise, continued reliance on volatile commodity imports may keep inflation near current levels.
