In March 2022, the global inflation rate for the consumer price index reached 9.22 percent, compared with 7.47 percent in February 2022. After reaching a low of 2.27 percent in August 2020, the inflation rate has steadily increased, with the most rapid growth occuring in late 2021 and early 2022.

Of the major developed and emerging economies, China was the only one to register deflation at **** percent in September 2025. On the other end of the spectrum, the inflation rate in Russia stood at ***** percent. The country's inflation rate increased sharply after the country's President, Vladimir Putin, decided to invade Ukraine, declined somewhat in 2023, before increasing slowly again since. The rate of inflation reflects changes in the cost of a specified basket containing a representative selection of goods and services. It is derived from the consumer price index (CPI).

The average for 2024 based on 155 countries was 6 percent. The highest value was in Turkey: 58.5 percent and the lowest value was in Afghanistan: -6.6 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2024. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The rate of inflation in the table is the percent change in the Consumer Price Index from the previous month. We show the monthly inflation in the last month with reported data as well as three months ago and one year ago. The numbers are updated on a daily basis as new data become available from the national authorities. The inflation rate can fluctuate significantly from one month to another. You may want to look at the annual inflation rate for a longer-term perspective.

In September 2025, prices had increased by three percent compared to September 2024, according to the 12-month percentage change in the consumer price index — the monthly inflation rate for goods and services in the United States. The data represents U.S. city averages. In economics, the inflation rate is a measure of the change in price level over time. The rate of decrease in the purchasing power of money is approximately equal. A projection of the annual U.S. inflation rate can be accessed here and the actual annual inflation rate since 1990 can be accessed here. InflationOne of the most important economic indicators is the development of the Consumer Price Index in a country. The change in this price level of goods and services is defined as the rate of inflation. The inflationary situation in the United States had been relatively severe in 2022 due to global events relating to COVID-19, supply chain restraints, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. More information on U.S. inflation may be found on our dedicated topic page. The annual inflation rate in the United States has increased from 3.2 percent in 2011 to 8.3 percent in 2022. This means that the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has weakened in recent years. The purchasing power is the extent to which a person has available funds to make purchases. According to the data published by the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) was about 258.84 in 2020 and is forecasted to grow up to 325.6 by 2027, compared to the base period from 1982 to 1984. The monthly percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban consumers in the United States was 0.1 percent in March 2023 compared to the previous month. In 2022, countries all around the world are experienced high levels of inflation. Although Brazil already had an inflation rate of 8.3 percent in 2021, compared to the previous year, while the inflation rate in China stood at 0.85 percent.

This is the Dataset for the world inflation from 1960 to 2021, obtained from world bank website for analyzing inflation rate around the world and in major economics. This data can be used for analytical purpose or project building for selves.

Is inflation (still) a global phenomenon? We study the international co-movement of inflation based on a dynamic factor model and in a sample spanning up to 56 countries during the 1960-2023 period. Over the entire period, a first global factor explains approximately 58% of the variation in headline inflation across all countries and over 72% in OECD economies. The explanatory power of global inflation is equally high in a shorter sample spanning the time since 2000. Core inflation is also remarkably global, with 53% of its variation attributable to a first global factor. The explanatory power of a second global factor is lower, except for select emerging economies. Variables such as a broad dollar index, the US federal funds rate, and a measure of commodity prices positively correlate with the first global factor. This global factor is also correlated with US inflation during the 70s, 80s, the GFC, and COVID. However, it lags these variables during the post-COVID period. Country-level integration in global value chains accounts for a significant proportion of the share of both local headline and core inflation dynamics explained by global factors.

The inflation rate for both Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America and the Caribbean reached more than 12 percent in 2023. Among the provided continents or regions, Asia and the Pacific had the lowest inflation rate that year. Consumer prices increased around the world following the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Inflation and food security Increases in food costs are one of the most prominent impacts of inflation globally. In the United Kingdom, for example, consumers have indicated that they have worried more about food costs in 2023 than in previous years. Meanwhile, in Canada, only a small fraction of survey respondents have said that inflation has had little impact on household food costs. Consumers have responded to rising food costs through various coping mechanisms. For example, Italian consumers have indicated that they purchase less unnecessary products, cut down on waste, and buy more discounted items in order to save costs. Changing consumer behvaiors Outside of food consumption, consumers have changed their purchasing behaviors with other types of goods and services. Surveying has indicated that nearly 60 percent of consumers have adjusted their shopping habits due to inflation. When holiday shopping in 2023, over 50 percent of Americans and over one third of British consumers said inflation had considerable impact on their holiday shopping. By generation, the Millenial generation has suffered the most due to rising inflation, while older generations have experienced less serious impacts.

Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICPs) are designed for international comparisons of consumer price inflation. HICP is used for example by the European Central Bank for monitoring of inflation in the Economic and Monetary Union and for the assessment of inflation convergence as required under Article 121 of the Treaty of Amsterdam. For the U.S. and Japan national consumer price indices are used in the table.

Under "Worldwide Inflation Based Database'' there are 4 sheets. Among them, the two are of data-sheets and the rest of the two are chart-typed sheets. However, between the two of the datasheets, one’s name is "Worldwide Inflation Rate in 2022”. Noted that this datasheet's table name is " Worldwide Inflation Rate in 2022''. Moreover, under this data table, there are three fields (“Country"; " Inflation rate-year over year"; "Date"), three columns, and, 185 rows. Also, each row contains 3 cells, and so, 185 rows contain 555 cells. And also, each column contains 185 cells, so, 3 columns contain 555 cells. In addition to, focusing on the two fields' ("Country", "Inflation rate-year over year") data of the datasheet.

"Inflation Rate of Countries" named "Line" type-based chart has been made. On this chart, “Country” field values are on the horizontal axis. Whereas, “Inflation rate-year over year” field values are on the vertical axis. However, the chart shows that Zimbabwe’s highest raking inflation, and its rate is 269%, and also, its time-scale continuity is up to on 22 October,2022. On the other hand, the negative scale of the inflation rate is in South Sudan which rate is -2.50, also, its time-scale is up to on 22 August,2022.

Basically, the chart has been made following “Data Shorting Descending Process’’, and, operating focused on the field (“Inflation rate-year over year’’) ‘s data.

And, another data sheet’s table name is “COUNTRY WISE INFLATION RTAE-2’’. This table contains two fields( “Country’’; “Inflation rate-year over year’’; ), 2 columns, 185 rows. Also, each row contain two cells, and so, 185 rows contain 370 cells. Whereas, each column contains 185 cells, and so, 2 columns contain 370 cells. However, on the basis of this datasheet, “Ascending typed Shorting Process” has been operated after the accomplishment of “Filtering” process. On the basis of it, “Inflation rate- year over year’’ named “line-type” chart has been created. On this chart, “Country” named field values are on horizontal axis, whereas, “Inflation rate-year over year “ named field values are on the vertical axis.

Be that as it may, the chart shows that South Sudan’s inflation rate is on the lower negative scale. In the opposite side, Lebanon’s inflation rate is at the highest level after Zimbabwe.
