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: 3.01% 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 2.85%, median 2.12%; low -0.34% (2000), high 7.63% (1970).
