The countries with the highest inflation rates

Source: Trading Economics, Inflation Rate - By Country

Here's a comparison of inflation rates for every country in the world.

We previously looked at 10 specific countries, but I got a lot of comments asking about inflation rates elsewhere.

The requests I received are highlighted in black, while the nations we previously looked at are in grey.

Generally, we can see that inflation is high across the globe.

Over 95% of countries have inflation over 2%, which is the inflation target for many developed countries.

The USA and the United Kingdom are in the upper middle of the list, which is somewhat unusual as we've seen very low inflation here for years.

58 countries have double digit inflation, meaning the general price level is over 10% higher than it was one year ago.

As we move to the top of the list, we can see Ukraine and Russia both have prices much higher than last year.

Into the top 20, and the percentages start to rise very quickly.

A potentially surprising one is Turkey at 70% inflation, which we discussed in the previous video, while the list is topped by Venezuela with 222% inflation.
