Inflation Rate (CPI): Antigua and Barbuda

Analysis# Antigua and Barbuda Inflation Rate (CPI) Antigua and Barbuda's inflation rate stands at 2.4% in 2026, representing a dramatic decline from its 1980 peak of 19%. The country has achieved an 87.4% reduction in inflation over the past 46 years, with its historical low of -0.6% recorded in 2009. The current rate reflects moderate price stability consistent with pre-pandemic levels. Recent volatility marked the 2020s, as inflation spiked to 7.5% in 2022 following global supply chain disruptions before moderating to 2.4% by 2026. The sharp 2022 surge interrupted nearly a decade of subdued inflation between 2017 and 2021, when rates remained below 2.4%. The return to 2.4% in 2026 signals stabilization, suggesting the economy has absorbed external shocks and restored price equilibrium aligned with long-term trends.
