Overview
Trinidad and Tobago's consumer price index stood at 171.08 in 2025, a rise of +7.46 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 171.08 by 2025. Trinidad and Tobago ranked 84th globally.
Trinidad and Tobago’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen dramatically from an early‑year base of 2.30 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 171.08 in 2025, placing the nation at 84th in the global ranking for that year. This 66‑year trajectory reflects sustained inflationary pressures, particularly in the post‑2000 period when oil price volatility and exchange‑rate adjustments amplified price growth across food and energy categories. The 2025 figure of 171.08 is closely matched by peers such as Latvia (171.94) and Bulgaria (169.31), underscoring a regional convergence among small open economies facing similar external shocks. While the early decades showed modest price stability, the sharp upward swing since the mid‑2010s signals structural challenges in monetary policy transmission and fiscal balance. If fiscal consolidation and targeted subsidies can curb demand‑side pressures, the CPI may moderate; however, persistent external shocks could sustain the upward trajectory in the near term.
