The World Bank’s Prospects Group has constructed a global database of inflation. The database covers up to 196 countries over the period 1970-2021, and includes six measures of inflation in three frequencies (annual, quarterly, and monthly): Headline consumer price index (CPI) inflation; Food CPI inflation; Energy CPI inflation; Core CPI inflation Producer price index inflation; and the Gross domestic product deflator.
