The table is rendered from an embedded dataset (no external calls). Use search, sorting and filters to explore patterns by region and income tier (income tier is a simple PPP-based proxy).
Metric: standard deviation of YoY CPI inflation (pp), window 2015–2024. Max/Last include 2025 where available (often WEO estimates/projections). Charts are winsorized at 69.5 pp for readability.
Scatter: volatility vs GDP per capita (PPP)
Points are Top‑100 countries with available GDP per capita PPP (2024). Both axes use log scaling; volatility is winsorized at 69.5 pp for the plot.
