Inflation in Bahrain

This page covers 62 years of Bahrain consumer price data, from 1965 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1974, when consumer prices in Bahrain rose 24.4%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.

Prices fell in 15 of those 61 years, including in recent decades — about 25% of the time — most sharply in 1985, when they dropped 2.6%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1970s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 12.6% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 0.6%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 0.8% a year, markedly calmer than the 3.4% average across the whole record.
