Analysis# Cameroon Inflation Rate (CPI)
Cameroon's inflation rate stands at 3.3% in 2026, reflecting a dramatic decline from its all-time peak of 25.8% in 1995. The country has experienced exceptional price stability over the past 46 years, with cumulative deflation of 57.1% since 1980. The lowest recorded inflation was -3.7% in 1993, underscoring the severe deflationary pressures during that period.
A sharp spike occurred in 2022–2023, when inflation reached 7.4%, driven by regional instability and supply chain disruptions. Since then, price growth has moderated considerably, falling from 4.5% in 2024 to the current 3.3%. This downward trajectory suggests increasingly effective monetary management and stabilizing economic conditions heading into 2027.
