Inflation analysis
Inflation in DR Congo
This page covers 64 years of DR Congo consumer price data, from 1963 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1994, when consumer prices in DR Congo rose 23,773%. That is hyperinflation — prices were rising faster than most people could spend their money, and figures from either side of an episode like that are barely comparable without the context of what happened to the currency itself.
Prices fell in 1 of those 63 years — about 2% of the time — most sharply in 1965, when they dropped 2.7%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 3,367% a year, while the 2010s were the calmest at 10.8%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 14.8% a year, markedly calmer than the 570.9% average across the whole record.
