Descripción
Annual changes in global and regional consumer price indices (CPIs) measure inflation rates of food and general consumer prices for a group of countries at different geographical scales: subregional, regional and global. The general CPI covers 207 countries, and the food CPI covers 203 countries worldwide; 18.7 percent of the observations for the food CPI and 7.9 percent for the general CPI are estimated. Country and regional consumer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT quarterly. This FAOSTAT Analytical Brief analyses the March 2025 update.In 2024, many countries witnessed a decrease in general and food inflation due to a decline in fuel and energy costs, lower farm-gate prices, and a gradual fading of the effects of previous shocks. Demand decreased, owing also to tighter monetary policies.
