Tourism-dependent inflation: Seychelles' economy heavily relies on tourism (30%+ of GDP), making inflation highly volatile. The 2008 financial crisis caused extreme spikes (37% inflation) as tourism collapsed. Recent inflation averaged 13.8% in the decade to 2024, with spikes during COVID-19 (9.77% in 2021) and global supply chain disruptions. The Seychellois rupee is vulnerable to external shocks due to heavy import dependence for food and fuel.
