In 2025, Djibouti's inflation, GDP deflator, linked series (annual % growth) rose 5.03 percentage points on 2024 (from -0.44% to 4.58%).

This year's change was 2.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.03 percentage points in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.5 percentage points in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Inflation as measured by the annual growth rate of the GDP implicit deflator shows the rate of price change in the economy as a whole. The GDP implicit deflator is the ratio of GDP in current local currency to GDP in constant local currency. This series has been linked to produce a consistent time series to counteract breaks in series over time due to changes in base years, source data and methodologies. Thus, it may not be comparable with other national accounts series in the database for historical years. This indicator denotes the percentage change over each previous year of the constant price (base year 2015) series in United States dollars.
