Cumulative & Yearly Inflation
Inflation in Fiji by year
Inflation is the change in that year's average prices against the year before, which is the figure usually quoted.

Only years measured in full are listed, so the year now running appears once it ends.

A short history of inflation in Fiji
The 2009 Devaluation (2009 to 2011)
Fijian inflation peaked at 9.3% in the year to June 2011, following a decision taken two years earlier. In April 2009 the Fiji dollar was devalued by 20% in a single step to protect foreign reserves after tourism and remittances fell away in the global recession, and the cost of imports rose accordingly for an island economy that buys most of its food, fuel and manufactures from abroad.
The Reserve Bank of Fiji manages the currency against a basket of its main trading partners' currencies, and inflation has generally been moderate, moving with world commodity prices, with the state of the tourism season, and with cyclones, which can remove a large part of the domestic food supply in a single week.
Post-Covid Inflation (2021 to 2023)
In Fiji, prices rose fastest in August 2022, at 8.2%. The causes of the post-Covid inflation were global in nature, beginning with the lockdowns: factories and ports closed and the shipping between them fell out of sequence, so goods took longer to make and longer to arrive. Governments had spent heavily supporting household incomes through those closures, so when restrictions lifted there was money waiting to be spent and not enough on the shelves to spend it on. Then in February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine, disrupting two of the world's largest suppliers of wheat, fertiliser, oil and gas at once, and the cost of everything grown, heated or transported rose with them.
Because the causes were shared, so was the timing: most countries peaked within a few months of one another in late 2022. The major inflation events covers this episode and the others in more detail.
