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: 2.79% 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 8.73%, median 7.80%; low 0.18% (1962), high 23.05% (1980).

The GDP deflator covers the prices of final output rather than a fixed consumer basket. Its coverage includes investment and government spending, and its weights change. This annual rate can differ from consumer inflation; a negative value indicates falling prices on this measure.

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.
The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.
