What the numbers say
In 2025, Suriname's inflation, GDP deflator, linked series (annual % growth) rose 0.18 percentage points on 2024 (from 12.81% to 12.99%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −14.18 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 58.25 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 293.32 percentage points in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 238.47 percentage points in 1996. 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 1% 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.
