Inflation analysis
Inflation in Belgium
This page covers 157 years of Belgium consumer price data, from 1870 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1941, when consumer prices in Belgium rose 93.5%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 36 of those 156 years, including in recent decades — about 23% of the time — most sharply in 1919, when they dropped 37.7%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1910s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 20.7% a year, while the 1880s were the calmest at -1.7%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 3.1% a year, below the 4.6% average across the whole record.
