Analysis# Sudan Inflation Rate (CPI)
Sudan's inflation rate stands at 54.6% in 2026, reflecting a partial stabilization after years of extreme volatility. The country experienced devastating hyperinflation, peaking at 359.1% in 2021—among the world's highest rates. Since 1980, inflation has climbed 106.0 percentage points overall, though Sudan briefly recorded deflation at -0.9% in 1990. The dramatic spike from 32.4% in 2017 to 163.3% by 2020 marks a critical deterioration linked to currency collapse and political instability.
The 2021 peak represented a breaking point, followed by a sharp descent to 138.8% in 2022. Although the rate spiked again to 185.7% in 2024, the recent decline to 54.6% suggests emerging price stability. Continued moderation through 2026 indicates potential recovery momentum, though inflation remains substantially elevated compared to pre-2017 levels. Sudan's inflationary pressures remain a significant macroeconomic challenge requiring sustained policy intervention.
