Inflation in Yemen

This page covers 37 years of Yemen consumer price data, from 1990 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 2021, when consumer prices in Yemen rose 59.8%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.

Prices have not fallen across a full year once in the 36 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 2020s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 31.3% a year, while the 2000s were the calmest at 10.7%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 30.5% a year, well above the 21.3% average across the whole record.
