Consumer-price inflation measures the annual percentage change in the cost of a consumer basket. A lower positive rate means prices rise more slowly, not that the price level falls; negative values indicate declining prices. In 2025, the comparison lines show Serbia (3.89%), Dominican Republic (3.87%) and Georgia (3.87%). These peers have the closest latest values among reporting countries with over one million people and a continuous common history; they are not selected by geography.
