Inflation in Madagascar

This page covers 63 years of Madagascar consumer price data, from 1964 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1995, when consumer prices in Madagascar rose 49.1%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.

Prices fell in 1 of those 62 years, including in recent decades — about 2% of the time — most sharply in 2003, when they dropped 1.7%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1980s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 18.6% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 2.6%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 7.5% a year, below the 11.0% average across the whole record.
