Overview
Uganda's consumer price index stood at 227.00 in 2025, a rise of +10.10 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 227.00 by 2025. Uganda ranked 48th globally.
Uganda’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen from 36.09 in 1993 to 227.00 in 2025, reflecting a 527 percent increase over 33 years and placing the country 48th globally in the latest World Bank ranking. The all‑time peak coincides with the 2025 reading, while the all‑time trough aligns with the earliest data point in 1993, underscoring a sustained inflationary trajectory rather than cyclical fluctuations. Compared with peer economies, Uganda’s CPI is slightly lower than Tanzania’s 232.36 and higher than Lesotho’s 224.25, suggesting a moderate price‑level position within the regional cohort. The long‑run upward path has been driven by recurring fiscal deficits, exchange‑rate depreciation and supply‑side constraints in food and energy markets. If monetary policy tightening and structural reforms succeed in curbing demand‑pull pressures, the CPI could stabilise below the current peak, slowing the upward trend observed since the early 1990s.
