Datos estadísticos publicados por INEGE sobre la evolución de la inflación del mes de febrero de 2025

Equatorial Guinea experienced a significant year-on-year increase in its Consumer Price Index (CPI), driven by sharp rises in food, transport, and health. This inflationary trend reveals persistent pressure on essential living costs, with categories such as cereals and medical services leading the positive variations, disproportionately affecting consumers’ purchasing power and highlighting the vulnerability of the basic food basket to specific price shocks. A city-level breakdown shows that inflation is not uniform, ranging from moderate rates in major urban areas to more intense pressures in places like Mongomo, where health and food costs concentrate the greatest price tensions. This geographic disparity underscores the importance of disaggregating macroeconomic data to understand local realities, as centralized policies may not adequately address the specific needs of each region or community. This report is crucial for the open data ecosystem because it illustrates the need for transparent, detailed, and timely access to public statistics. The full publication of time series, product group breakdowns, and georeferenced data enables civil society, researchers, and international organizations to monitor the economic situation, hold institutions accountable, and facilitate independent studies on the impact of inflation on social well-being.
