Inflation analysis
Inflation in Albania
Albania inflation is 3.40% in 2026, following 2.15% in 2025. 36 years of data are available, from 1991.
This page covers 36 years of Albania consumer price data, from 1991 to 2026. 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 1992, when consumer prices in Albania rose 226.0%. Prices more than doubled within that single year.
Prices have not fallen across a full year once in the 35 years recorded here. Every year on this page moves in the same direction, which is why an amount of money always buys less later than earlier. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 51.0% a year, while the 2010s were the calmest at 2.1%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 2.8% a year, markedly calmer than the 13.7% average across the whole record.
