Inflation in Malawi
In the year to June 2026, consumer prices in Malawi rose 21.1%, down from 23.4% a month earlier. Over the longer run they have risen 1,393.3% since January 2010, the start of the official series. That means MK100 then buys what MK1,493.33 buys now, so the same basket of goods costs 14.9 times what it did.

How inflation in Malawi is measured
The figures above come from the IMF's CPI dataset, with the original data from the National Statistical Office of Malawi. The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from January 2010 to June 2026, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
