Inflation analysis
Inflation in Iran
This page covers 68 years of Iran consumer price data, from 1959 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 2026, when consumer prices in Iran rose 68.9%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 1 of those 67 years — about 1% of the time — most sharply in 1966, when they dropped 0.4%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 2020s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 43.7% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 2.6%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 37.2% a year, well above the 18.4% average across the whole record.
