Inflation in Nicaragua

Nicaragua inflation is 3.50% in 2026, following 2.08% in 2025. 28 years of data are available, from 1999.

This page covers 28 years of Nicaragua consumer price data, from 1999 to 2026. Series that begin this late usually do so because the country, the currency or the statistical agency behind the index did not exist in its current form before then. The steepest single year on record was 2008, when consumer prices in Nicaragua rose 19.8%.

Prices have not fallen across a full year once in the 27 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 2000s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 8.4% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 5.4%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 5.2% a year, below the 6.6% average across the whole record.
