Inflation in Libya

This page covers 63 years of Libya consumer price data, from 1964 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1978, when consumer prices in Libya rose 29.4%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.

Prices fell in 10 of those 62 years, including in recent decades — about 16% of the time — most sharply in 2002, when they dropped 9.8%.
