Inflation analysis
Inflation in Benin
Benin inflation is 2.00% in 2026, following 1.10% in 2025. 35 years of data are available, from 1992.
This page covers 35 years of Benin consumer price data, from 1992 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 1994, when consumer prices in Benin rose 38.5%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.
Prices fell in 2 of those 34 years, including in recent decades — about 6% of the time — most sharply in 2016, when they dropped 0.8%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 9.7% a year, while the 2010s were the calmest at 1.3%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 1.5% a year, markedly calmer than the 3.7% average across the whole record.
