How to read this figure
Annual change in the consumer price index — how much more the same basket costs than a year ago. Derived from official index levels (World Bank collection); one number for the whole country, so your personal basket may run hotter or colder. Ranked and coloured by distance from the ~2 % target most central banks aim for: deflation is a warning sign, not a win, so the greenest countries sit NEAR the target — not at the lowest number.
