IMF World Economic Outlook (October 2026), PCPIPCHInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) · Official economic statisticsRetrieved 2026-10-27 · Data (API) | 3.12025 | Percent change in the annual average consumer price index (WEO indicator PCPIPCH, "Inflation rate, average consumer prices"), World Economic Outlook October 2026.Series 1980-2025. The IMF gives 2025 as the latest year of actual data; the WEO's later years (2026-2031 as stored here) are IMF estimates or projections and are left out. Raw files: raw/inflation-by-country/imf/PCPIPCH.json (IMF DataMapper API, last modified 8 October 2026) for values; raw/inflation-by-country/imf/weo_sdmx_PCPIPCH.xml (IMF SDMX API) for the latest actual year, fiscal-year mapping and notes. Historical data source: National Statistics Office. IMF methodology note: "The change in inflation reflects the transition to the new CPI data that the authorities released in November 2022. The new index, starting from August 2022, has updated its weights from 2002 to 2019, and expanded coverage to include the entire country instead of just Conakry as in the previous index. It was developed with technical assistance from AFRISTAT and reviewed by STA. The figures presented in the tables rely only on Conakry s information, as there is insufficient data available for the other regions to calculate an annual average. Further changes will need to be accommodated once there is sufficient data availability to transition to the full-country index. The new CPI results in a lower inflation rate at the end of 2022 and a faster decline in inflation in 2023." | 5 of 5 checks

Why the numbers differ
- All three lines start from the same national consumer price index, compiled by each country's statistics office. The World Bank takes it from the IMF's International Financial Statistics, the OECD collects it from the statistics office, and IMF staff compile the World Economic Outlook series. That is one original collection, so only one line per country is counted.
- Index choice: for EU members and the United Kingdom, the WEO shows the EU Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) from the mid-1990s, while the World Bank and OECD lines show the national CPI. The two indices cover different spending (the national CPI of several countries includes owner-occupied housing costs, the HICP does not) and use different weights.
- Rebasing and revisions: when a statistics office moves to a new base year or a new basket, the agencies update their copies at different times, so the same year can differ in the first decimal.
- Timing: each agency publishes on its own schedule; the WEO of October 2026, the World Development Indicators update of October 2026 and the OECD database each hold the figures available when they were compiled. Where national data are late, the WEO fills recent years with staff estimates; this page drops those years, so the latest IMF year differs from country to country.
- Coverage: the WEO omits years it judges unreliable (it has no values for Argentina in the middle of the last decade) and starts some countries late; the World Bank series for some countries start or stop at different years than the IMF's.
Common mistakes
- Mixing annual averages with December-to-December rates. These lines are the change in the average price level over the whole year; the IMF also publishes end-of-period inflation (PCPIEPCH), which can be very different in a year when inflation speeds up or slows down. (source, retrieved 2026-10-27)
- Comparing hyperinflation years on a linear scale. Some rows reach thousands or millions of percent (Bolivia in 1985, Venezuela in 2018, Zimbabwe in 2008), so a chart needs a log scale to show both those years and ordinary ones. The raw values are kept unchanged. (source, retrieved 2026-10-27)
- Comparing an HICP rate for one country with a national CPI rate for another, or with the same country's CPI from a different source, as if they were the same measure.
- Treating WEO values for the current and later years as data. They are IMF projections; this page keeps only years up to the last full year. (source, retrieved 2026-10-27)
