What this value means
Niger is in pronounced DEFLATION: June 2026 index 102.1 vs 105.2 in June 2025 = -2.9% y/y; month-on-month +1.8%; 12-month AVERAGE inflation -8.2% (vs -8.6% in May), far below the WAEMU 3% convergence ceiling, and negative on the annual-average measure since July 2025. Deflation driven by the unwinding of the 2024-25 food-price spike: cereals -16.7% y/y, education services -15.6%, food & non-alcoholic beverages -6.6%; partly offset by insurance/financial services +12.3% and meat +15.8%. This is Niger's OWN national IHPC compiled by INS Niger (777 products, ~31,132 monthly price records across all 8 regions) — not a UEMOA aggregate. Methodology note: base 100=2023 replaced base 100=2014 in January 2025 (EHCVM 2021/22 weights, IMF CPI Manual 2020). Access quirk: bulletins are PDF-only at stat-niger.org, URL pattern IHPCB2023_{Mois}_2026_VF.pdf.
