Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. index, 2010 = 100 · Institut National de la Statistique consumer price index via the IMF (CPI, all items, the INS's base years spliced into one index by the IMF, 2010 = 100) · Republic of the Congo data · as of Aug 2026.
