Inflation analysis
Inflation in Tanzania
This page covers 62 years of Tanzania consumer price data, from 1965 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1984, when consumer prices in Tanzania rose 36.1%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.
Prices have not fallen across a full year once in the 61 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 1980s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 30.1% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 3.6%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 3.8% a year, markedly calmer than the 14.1% average across the whole record.
