Politare

Inflation (CPI) during each head of government's tenure

Every head of government 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.

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 · Institut National de la Statistique consumer price index via the IMF (CPI, all items, spliced across base years by the IMF), change on the same month a year earlier; April 2024 and April 2025 as INS published them · Tunisia data · as of Sep 2026.
