Inflation (CPI) during each president's tenure

Every president since 1991, ranked by how the inflation (CPI) changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

#	President	In office	Total	Per year	Chart
1	Bashar al-Assad	17 Jul 2000 – 8 Dec 2024	+37.9 pp Jun 2000 → Nov 2024	+1.6 pp/yr
2	N Ahmed al-Sharaa	8 Dec 2024 – now	+4.2 pp Nov 2024 → Jun 2026	+2.7 pp/yr

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 pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % change on a year earlier · Central Bureau of Statistics consumer price index: the IMF's copy (CPI, spliced across base years) to December 2019, FAOSTAT's (official figures) from January 2020, change on the same month a year earlier; FAOSTAT has no month of 2021, so neither 2021 nor 2022 has a rate · Syria data · as of Jul 2026.
