About this ranking

Percentage change of the general CPI with respect to the same month of the previous year.

Spain: INE general CPI. United States: CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), all items, US city average, not seasonally adjusted. For EU comparisons use hicp_annual_rate; for other countries and the World use inflation_annual_average.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
