Analysis# Guyana Inflation Rate (CPI)
Guyana's inflation rate stands at 4.4% in 2026, reflecting moderate price pressures in the economy. The country has traveled far from its hyperinflationary crisis of 1991, when CPI reached 103.1%—one of the worst inflationary episodes in its history. Since 1980, inflation has declined 68.8 percentage points overall, with the economy briefly experiencing deflation in 2015 at -0.9%.
Recent years reveal volatile but generally contained inflation. After hovering near 1-2% from 2017 to 2020, the rate spiked to 6.5% in 2022 amid global supply disruptions, then moderated to 2.5% by 2024. The uptick to 3.6% in 2025 and 4.4% in 2026 suggests stabilization within a manageable range, avoiding a return to the double-digit pressures that characterized earlier decades.
