Consumer prices worldwide rose by 4.1% in 2025 according to the IMF, and by an average of 6.0% a year over 2021–2025. The highest inflation in 2025 was in Venezuela (252%), Sudan (99.9%), South Sudan (97.6%) and Zimbabwe (81.4%); among large economies, in Iran (50.6%), Argentina (41.9%) and Turkey (34.9%). Prices fell in 11 countries, including Thailand and Panama (−0.1%); in China inflation was zero. For a property investor, inflation is the minimum hurdle: if house prices and rents grow more slowly, the investment loses value in real terms.

About the data
Indicator. Consumer price inflation: the average increase in the prices of goods and services over the year compared with the previous year (consumer price index, annual average). Two layers: 2025 and the five-year average, 2021–2025.
Period and source. IMF, World Economic Outlook, October 2026, series PCPIPCH. For some countries the 2025 values are preliminary IMF estimates and may be revised.
Five-year average. Geometric mean of annual rates over 2021–2025: the annual indices are multiplied together and the fifth root of the product is taken. This gives the true average annual rise in prices; a simple average overstates it when inflation is high. WhiteIndex calculation based on IMF data.
Scale. Eight classes, the same for both layers: deflation (below 0%), 0–2%, 2–3%, 3–5%, 5–8%, 8–15%, 15–30%, and 30% and above. 2% is the inflation target of most central banks in advanced economies.
Gaps. Countries and territories without IMF data for 2021–2025 are shown in gray: Syria, Eritrea, Cuba, North Korea, Monaco, Vatican City, Northern Cyprus, Somaliland and a number of dependent territories.
Caveats. In countries with very high inflation (Venezuela, Sudan, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Lebanon) official statistics are incomplete and IMF estimates are approximate. Zimbabwe introduced a new currency in April 2024. In Argentina inflation fell sharply in 2025, so the values of the two layers differ widely. Inflation measures price growth in the local currency; for a foreign buyer the exchange rate of that currency against the dollar or the euro matters as well.
