Analysis# Bolivia Inflation Rate (CPI)
Bolivia's inflation rate stands at 20.8% in 2025, marking a dramatic reversal from recent stability. This current figure remains far below the catastrophic peak of 11,749.6% recorded in 1985, during the country's hyperinflation crisis. Since 1980, Bolivia has achieved a net reduction of 55.8 percentage points, reflecting decades of monetary reform and economic stabilization efforts.
The past decade revealed two distinct periods: a deflationary stretch from 2016 to 2021, when inflation fell to a record low of 0.7%, followed by accelerating price growth beginning in 2022. The surge from 0.9% in 2020 to 20.8% in 2025 signals renewed inflationary pressures, with the rate quintupling in just three years. This sharp uptick suggests Bolivia faces mounting economic challenges requiring policy attention.
