Inflation in the G7 Since 2019
Consumer price inflation, % change from a year earlier, monthly
Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where the data set a record or moved most.
All-items consumer price index, from the OECD; the change from a year earlier is calculated by Palanor.
The inflation surge of 2021 to 2023 in the seven largest advanced economies, and how far each has come back down. Italy and the United Kingdom, hit hardest by the energy shock, peaked highest; Japan’s rise came later and stayed smaller.
