Analysis# Puerto Rico Inflation Rate (CPI)
Puerto Rico's inflation rate stands at 2.2% in 2026, reflecting a stable pricing environment far removed from the island's inflationary peaks. The current level sits well below the all-time high of 9.5% recorded in 1981, and represents a 76.8% decline over the 45-year period. This dramatic compression underscores Puerto Rico's shift toward price stability, though modest inflation persists compared to the deflationary low of -0.8% reached in 2015.
Recent years reveal volatile swings that have since normalized. After spiking to 6% in 2022 amid global supply chain pressures, inflation retreated sharply through 2023 and 2024, declining to 2% and 1.4% respectively. The uptick to 2.2% in 2026 suggests a settling into a sustainable range rather than a return to elevated pressures, positioning Puerto Rico within typical moderate inflation territory.
