Inflation in Gabon

This page covers 65 years of Gabon consumer price data, from 1962 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1994, when consumer prices in Gabon rose 36.1%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.

Prices fell in 7 of those 64 years, including in recent decades — about 11% of the time — most sharply in 1991, when they dropped 11.7%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1970s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 11.1% a year, while the 2000s were the calmest at 2.0%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 2.6% a year, markedly calmer than the 4.6% average across the whole record.
