Inflation analysis
Inflation in Jamaica
This page covers 68 years of Jamaica consumer price data, from 1959 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1992, when consumer prices in Jamaica rose 77.3%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices have not fallen across a full year once in the 67 years recorded here. Every year on this page moves in the same direction, which is why an amount of money always buys less later than earlier. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 27.8% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 3.5%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 5.5% a year, markedly calmer than the 12.8% average across the whole record.
