Of the major developed and emerging economies, China had the lowest inflation rate at *** percent in December 2024. On the other end of the spectrum, the inflation rate in Russia stood at nearly ** 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.

As of April 2025, the inflation rate in the European Union was 2.4 percent, with prices rising fastest in Romania, which had an inflation rate of 4.9 percent. By contrast, both France and Cyprus saw low inflation rates during the same period, with France having the lowest inflation rate in the EU during this month. The rate of inflation in the EU in the October 2022 was higher than at any other time, with the peak prior to 2021 recorded in July 2008 when prices were growing by 4.4 percent year-on-year. Before the recent rises in inflation, price rises in the EU had been kept at relatively low levels, with the inflation rate remaining below three percent between January 2012 and August 2021. Rapid recovery and energy costs driving inflation The reopening of the European economy in 2021 following the sudden shock of COVID-19 in 2020 is behind many of the factors that have caused prices to rise so quickly in 2022. Global supply chains have not yet recovered from production issues, travel restrictions, and workforce problems brought about by the pandemic. Rising energy costs have only served to exacerbate supply problems, particularly with regard to the transport sector, which had the highest inflation rate of any sector in the EU in December 2021. High inflation rates mirrored in the U.S. The high inflation rates seen in Europe have been reflected in other parts of the world. In the United States, for example, the consumer price index reached a 40-year-high of seven percent in December 2021, influenced by many of the same factors driving European inflation. Nevertheless, it is hoped that once these supply chain issues ease, inflation levels will start to fall throughout the course of 2022.

Inflation rates rose all around the world in 2022, so also in the G7 countries, where inflation rates varied from 2.5 percent in Japan to over 8 percent in Italy. Inflation rates increased sharply all around the world through 2022, spurred by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February that year. Especially gas and electricity were hit by price increases following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. Inflation rates were falling in all G7 economies in 2024.

Argentina had the highest annual inflation rate of G20 member countries as of April 2024, reaching an annual average of *** percent. The Latin American country has struggled with high inflation over several years. Elsewhere, the inflation rate in Turkey reached almost ** percent, while it was lowest in China at *** percent.

Inflation is characterized by a steady rise in the aggregate level of prices in an economy - put into simpler words, it is the rise in all prices in the economy, rather than just in specific prices for goods or services (such as when there is a shortage in a particular good). The consumer price index tracks price trends of private consumption expenditure, and shows an increase in the index's current level of inflation. In April 2025, the inflation rate in Türkiye (previously known as Turkey) was 37.9 percent compared to the same month of the previous year, making it one of the countries in the world with the highest inflation rate.

Dataset Summary

Inflation is a critical economic indicator that reflects the overall increase in prices of goods and services within an economy over a specific period. Understanding inflation trends on a global scale is crucial for economists, policymakers, investors, and businesses. This dataset provides comprehensive insights into the inflation rates of various countries for the year 2022. The data is sourced from reputable international organizations and government reports… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/aswin1906/countries-inflation.

Russia was forecast to have the highest inflation rate among the presented Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in 2024, at 7.86 percent compared to the previous year. To compare, consumer prices in Ukraine were expected to grow by 5.84 percent.

This dataset provides values for INFLATION RATE MOM reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

The rate at which prices for goods and services are generally rising and, as a result, currency's purchasing power is declining is known as inflation. Central banks attempt to limit inflation—and avoid deflation—in order to keep the economy running smoothly. Each unit of currency may purchase fewer products and services as prices rise. This results in a reduction in the actual value of money, a process that impacts every level of the economy, from consumers to governments. The percentage change in the cost of a basket of goods and services over a certain time period, often a year, is measured by the inflation rate. It’s a key metric for assessing the health of an economy, showing how much more expensive everyday goods and services have become. The change in the average price level of a basket of goods and services over a year is represented by the inflation rate average consumer prices (annual per cent change). It’s calculated by taking the average of prices across all months of a given year compared to the previous year. This metric is determined by averaging monthly price data and comparing it to the average of the previous year. It provides a broader view of inflation trends across a longer time frame, smoothing out any short-term volatility. The Inflation rate, end of period consumer prices (annual per cent change) reflects the price level change from the end of one period (typically December) to the end of the next period (the following December). Instead of taking an average, this rate focuses on the price level at a specific point in time, providing a snapshot of inflation. It’s calculated by comparing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the final month of the year with the CPI of the last month of the previous year.

2022 and 2023 saw inflation rates rise all over the world, especially spurred by effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. With its hyperinflation, ********* was predicted to have the highest inflation rate of the countries included here both in 2023, 2024, and 2025. On the other hand, ******* inflation rate was estimated to only reach *** percent in 2024.

Uzbekistan was estimated the highest inflation rate in Eurasia in 2024, at approximately ** percent. It was followed by Kazakhstan, where consumer prices would grow by around *** percent on average compared to the previous year. Ukraine's inflation rate decreased after having peaked in 2022.

Abstract

Food price inflation is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources of consumer prices are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations. This data set includes food price estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.

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.

The average for 2025 based on 20 countries was 18.78 percent. The highest value was in Venezuela: 254.35 percent and the lowest value was in Panama: 0.7 percent. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2030. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.
