The Central Bank of Nicaragua published its 2025 inflation outcome, reporting accumulated inflation of 2.70% as measured by the change in the Consumer Price Index, based on data from the National Institute of Development Information (INIDE). The result was lower than 2024 inflation of 2.84%. The central bank attributed the low inflation to an exchange-rate stabilisation stance that keeps the currency crawl at 0%, government subsidies that stabilised fuel and public transport prices, and low imported inflation linked to the slowdown in international inflation. For 2026, it expects the low-inflation trend to be maintained, supported by continued consistent monetary and fiscal policies, a positive growth outlook, and increased goods supply.
