⬤ Iran's economy is dealing with seriously high inflation right now. Fresh estimates put the annual rate at 92.3% as of February 5, 2026 – meaning prices are essentially doubling every year.
⬤ The data tracks inflation from early 2024 through now, and the pattern isn't pretty. Starting from lower levels in early 2024, inflation climbed past 60% during 2025 before pushing toward 90% as we moved into 2026. The chart shows it's not just jumping around randomly – there's a clear upward trend happening.
⬤ What makes this concerning is that the latest reading sits near the peak of what we've seen over this entire period. This isn't a temporary spike that might correct itself quickly. The progression suggests sustained pressure building over time.
Iran's annual inflation rate is measured at 92.3% per year based on calculations dated February 5, 2026.
⬤ Why does this matter? When inflation stays this high for this long, it hits everyday purchasing power hard. People's savings lose value fast, businesses struggle to plan, and the whole economic picture gets messier. These kinds of sustained inflation levels typically signal deeper structural issues that don't resolve overnight.
