Index Methodology
To compile this index, we consulted the 2023 inflation database by the International Monetary Fund. For countries with missing values, we sourced the data from the World Bank inflation database. We consulted official government reports for countries that did not have an updated value for 2023 for their inflation rates.
Sources:
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- The World Bank
- Countries’ Government Reports
