Our missionThe chart below compares current annual inflation rates across a selection of major economies, sourced from national statistical agencies and central bank reports.
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises over time, eroding purchasing power.
When inflation is too high, everyday items become less affordable. When it is too low or turns negative (deflation), economic growth can stall. Central banks target a moderate inflation level — typically around 2% annually — to keep economies healthy.
Understanding inflation is essential for informed decisions about savings, wages, investments, and public policy.
Learn how it's managedA brief overview of inflationary conditions across the world's major economic regions as of 2025.
The United States and Canada have seen inflation decline from multi-decade highs in 2022, now hovering near central bank targets. Latin American economies remain more volatile, with Argentina continuing to see exceptionally high rates.
European inflation, fuelled by the 2022 energy crisis, has moderated significantly. The Eurozone CPI has declined from above 10% to near 3%, though Eastern Europe still shows above-average pressures.
Japan has finally seen inflation break above 2% after decades of deflationary pressure, while Australia and New Zealand have worked hard to bring price growth under control. Emerging Asian markets vary widely.
