Inflation rate
Tier A· OfficialDescriptiveAnnual change in consumer prices. Descriptive — both very high inflation and deflation are problematic, so we show the rate rather than grade it.
100 = highest inflation in the dataset, 0 = lowest/most negative — descriptive, not better or worse
Mixed reference years (2011–2025). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.
How this score is built
Annual consumer-price inflation — World Bank indicator FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG (IMF/national sources). Descriptive, not graded. Inflation is *non-monotonic*: unlike most metrics there is no "higher is better" — both very high inflation (eroding savings, e.g. >200% in a crisis year) and deflation (negative inflation, a sign of demand collapse) are harmful, while a low positive rate (~2%) is generally healthy. Forcing it onto a "100 = best" scale would falsely imply deflation is ideal, so we show it with a neutral colour, keep it off the Compare radar, and rank purely by percentile position (100 = highest observed inflation). Read the raw rate, not the position.
