Inflation analysis
Inflation in Afghanistan
Afghanistan inflation is 2.90% in 2025, following -6.60% in 2024. 22 years of data are available, from 2004.
This page covers 22 years of Afghanistan consumer price data, from 2004 to 2025. Series that begin this late usually do so because the country, the currency or the statistical agency behind the index did not exist in its current form before then. The steepest single year on record was 2008, when consumer prices in Afghanistan rose 26.4%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.
Prices fell in 4 of those 21 years, including in recent decades — about 19% of the time — most sharply in 2009, when they dropped 6.8%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 2000s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 9.6% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 2.7%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 2.8% a year, markedly calmer than the 5.1% average across the whole record.
