Abstract
The consumer price index (cpi) is a key indicator of the health of an economy and is widely used as a way to measure inflation. Turkey’s CPI stood at a staggering 1,310 in May 2024 data, reflecting the country’s serious inflation problems. Over the past few years, Turkey has faced high inflation rates, which have been affected by the depreciation of its currency, the lira, and unstable economic policies. In countries other than Turkey, the CPI is also influenced by various factors, particularly fluctuations in energy and food prices. For example, in the United States and the eurozone, supply chain issues and increased demand as the economies recover from the COVID-19 pandemic are impacting CPI. In contrast, in developing countries, slowing economic growth and political instability are contributing to inflation. Overall, trends in the CPI reflect economic policies and the international economic environment and require careful monitoring, especially in countries with high inflation, where rising living costs have a direct impact on people’s lives. Looking ahead, stabilizing the CPI will be a key challenge as countries strive for sustainable growth.

The consumer price index (cpi) is a key indicator for measuring the inflationary situation in an economy, especially in countries experiencing extreme inflation such as venezuela. Considering data from 1987 to 2024, Venezuela’s 746 million index recorded in April 2019 is the result of economic collapse and political instability. The current situation, which is still 100% compared to the peak, indicates that the situation is still very serious. As the example of Venezuela shows, trends in the CPI over the past few decades have often been driven by a combination of poor economic policies, plummeting oil prices, and social unrest. In addition, while in developed countries the CPI is usually stable and inflation of around 2% is considered desirable, in developing countries and unstable economies, rapid inflation is often the norm, leading to a decline in living standards and increased poverty. In these circumstances, international and domestic policies need to ensure economic stability through the management of CPI. In particular, to achieve sustainable growth, concrete policies are needed to curb inflation and improve the lives of the people. Overall, CPI trends serve as a barometer for measuring the health of each country’s economy and need to continue to be closely monitored.

Consumer Price Index prices (not seasonally adjusted) (worldwide)
The consumer price index (cpi) is a key indicator of the inflationary situation in an economy, and the case of venezuela stands out in particular with data from 1987 to 2024. The 746 million index recorded in April 2019 was a symbol of extreme hyperinflation and reflected Venezuela’s economic collapse and political instability. The fact that the current situation is still 100% compared to its peak indicates a serious economic crisis. CPI trends over this period vary significantly from country to country. In developed countries, a stable inflation rate of around 2% is usually maintained, but in developing countries and unstable regions, rapid inflation frequently occurs due to economic policy failures or external factors (for example, fluctuations in energy prices). In addition to Venezuela, countries such as Zimbabwe and Argentina are facing similar problems, and there are concerns about a decline in living standards and an increase in poverty. Going forward, stabilizing the CPI will become a focus of each country’s policies and will be key to achieving sustainable economic growth. Political stability will be especially important, as successful inflation management will directly translate into improved living standards for the people. The CPI should continue to be closely monitored as a barometer for measuring each country’s economic situation.

Consumer Price Index prices (not seasonally adjusted) (by income, latest year)
In the May 2023 Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, low-middle income countries had the highest CPI at 390, the average at 258, and the total at 1,220. The figures show the diversity of inflation in the global economy and its impact. The high CPI in low- and middle-income countries is due to fluctuations in energy prices and rising food prices. These countries are highly import-dependent and vulnerable to international market influences, meaning that external shocks have a large impact on their economies. Additionally, disruptions to supply chains and volatility in agricultural production due to climate change are also contributing to rising prices. On the other hand, in developed countries, the CPI has remained relatively stable and typically converges to around 2% due to strict inflation targeting. However, recent changes in the global economic environment, particularly the recovery from COVID-19 and supply shortages due to the Russia-Ukraine war, are increasing inflationary pressures even in developed countries. Overall, trends in the CPI are closely related to each country’s economic policies and the international economic environment. Going forward, countries will need to consider policies to achieve sustainable growth while curbing inflation. Particularly in low- and middle-income countries, achieving both improved living standards and economic stabilization is an important issue.

Consumer Price Index prices (not seasonally adjusted) (by income, latest year)
According to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for April 2024, low- and middle-income countries have the highest CPI at 390, while the overall average is 258 and the total is 1030. This figure gives a clear picture of the inflationary situation in the global economy. The high CPI for low- and middle-income countries reflects the unique economic challenges these countries face. In particular, the sharp rise in energy prices and soaring food prices are major factors. These countries are highly import-dependent and sensitive to fluctuations in the international market, so external factors have a direct impact on them. Climate change and natural disasters are also affecting agricultural production and supply chains, contributing to rising prices. On the other hand, in developed countries, the CPI has remained relatively stable and controlling inflation is pursued as a policy objective. However, recent changes in the global economic environment, particularly supply chain disruptions and geopolitical risks, have led to inflationary pressures even in developed countries. Overall, CPI trends are easily influenced by each country’s economic policies and the international economy, and low- and middle-income countries in particular need to urgently improve living standards and stabilize their economies. Going forward, countries will need to focus on tackling inflation while striving for sustainable growth.
