Inflation in Myanmar

This page covers 68 years of Myanmar consumer price data, from 1959 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 2002, when consumer prices in Myanmar rose 57.1%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.

Prices fell in 9 of those 67 years, including in recent decades — about 13% of the time — most sharply in 1978, when they dropped 6.0%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 26.9% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 4.5%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 15.8% a year, above the 13.9% average across the whole record.
