Analysis# Equatorial Guinea Inflation Rate (CPI)
Equatorial Guinea's inflation rate stands at 2.9% in 2026, reflecting moderate price growth in the economy. This figure sits far below the country's dramatic 84% peak in 1985, yet well above the severe -17.6% deflation recorded in 1986. Since 1980, the nation has experienced extreme volatility before stabilizing in recent decades, with inflation generally confined to single digits over the past two decades.
Recent years show relative stability punctuated by commodity-driven spikes. A sharp jump to 4.8% in 2020 reflected pandemic-related pressures, followed by brief deflation in 2021 at -0.1%. The rate rebounded to 4.9% in 2022 before moderating to 2.9% by 2025. The projected flat trend through 2026 suggests price pressures have normalized, indicating the central bank has successfully anchored inflation expectations after the volatility of the early 1980s.
