Inflation in Gambia

Gambia inflation is 5.80% in 2026, following 7.90% in 2025. 66 years of data are available, from 1961.

This page covers 66 years of Gambia consumer price data, from 1961 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1986, when consumer prices in Gambia rose 56.6%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.

Prices fell in 2 of those 65 years — about 3% of the time — most sharply in 1964, when they dropped 4.5%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1980s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 17.5% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 1.7%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 8.9% a year, close to the 8.2% average across the whole record.
