Inflation Rate (CPI): Algeria

Analysis# Algeria Inflation Rate (CPI) Algeria's inflation rate stood at 3.9% in 2026, reflecting a dramatic stabilization from its turbulent past. The country's price pressures have declined 59.8% since 1980, when tracking began. The all-time peak of 31.7% in 1992 marked the height of economic instability during Algeria's transition period, while the all-time low of 0.3% in 2000 demonstrated the potential for price stability. Current levels remain well below historical extremes. The period from 2021 to 2023 revealed a sharp inflationary spike, with CPI reaching 9.3% both years as regional and global pressures mounted. However, Algeria achieved rapid disinflation in 2024, dropping to 4%, and has maintained moderate inflation near 3.5–3.9% through 2026. This recent trajectory suggests sustained control over price growth, positioning the country toward the lower end of its historical range.
