Analysis# Mozambique Inflation Rate (CPI)
Mozambique's inflation rate stands at 5.4% in 2026, reflecting relative price stability after decades of economic volatility. The country experienced catastrophic hyperinflation during the late 1980s, peaking at 164.1% in 1987 before gradually stabilizing over subsequent decades. From 1980 onward, cumulative inflation totaled 170.0%, with the all-time low of 0.9% reached in 2020 during pandemic-related economic disruptions.
Recent years show a moderating trend after volatility in the early 2020s. Inflation spiked to 10.4% in 2022 but has since declined to single-digit levels, falling to 3.2% in 2024 before edging slightly upward to 5.4% in 2026. This trajectory suggests Mozambique has largely contained inflationary pressures, moving away from the extreme fluctuations that characterized earlier decades and establishing a more predictable price environment for economic planning.
