| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 6.13% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 7.36% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 4.42% | 2015 |
| Highest | 8.87% | 2014 |
| Lowest | -5.74% | 2013 |
| Average since 2016 | 6.02% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | -5.74% | 2013 |
Over five years it is down 1.23 percentage points from 7.36% in 2020. Since 2013 it is up 11.87 percentage points from -5.74% in 2013.
In 2025, Vanuatu's real interest rate (%) rose 2.98 percentage points on 2024 (from 3.15% to 6.13%).
Across the 11 yearly changes before that (2014 to 2024), the average change was +0.81 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.54 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 14.61 percentage points in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.09 percentage points in 2024. 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 11% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Vanuatu had the 29th highest value of the 73 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
An interest rate is the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of the principal over a period of time, by the owners of certain kinds of financial assets for putting the financial assets at the disposal of another institutional unit. The real interest rate is the lending interest rate adjusted for inflation as measured by the GDP deflator. The terms and conditions attached to lending rates differ by country, however, limiting their comparability. This indicator is expressed as a percentage (a÷b)*100.
