Inflation Rate (CPI): Cambodia

Analysis# Cambodia Inflation Rate (CPI) Cambodia's inflation rate stands at 1.8% in 2026, reflecting moderate price stability after decades of volatility. The country has traveled an extraordinary economic distance since 1987, when deflation hit -31.2% during post-conflict recovery. The 1991 peak of 191% marked the opposite extreme, driven by currency instability and reconstruction pressures. Over the 39-year span, Cambodia has achieved a net change of 105.8 percentage points, demonstrating gradual stabilization as institutions strengthened. The 2022 spike to 5.3% marked the most recent inflation surge, driven by global commodity pressures and supply chain disruptions. Since then, Cambodia has returned to its preferred range, declining to 0.9% in 2024 before edging up to 1.8% in 2026. The recent trajectory suggests the Central Bank of Cambodia has successfully contained inflationary pressures while maintaining economic growth, positioning the country for continued moderate inflation in the near term.
