The GDP deflator (NY.GDP.DEFL.KD.ZG) is the annual percentage change in the price of all goods and services produced in the economy — a broad inflation measure tied to GDP, not a consumer basket. Latest: 2.55% in 2025.
It can diverge from a consumer price index when export or investment prices move differently from household prices. From 1961 to 2025 (65 years): mean 3.95%, median 3.24%; low -2.32% (2009), high 15.57% (1974).
