Inflation, GDP Deflator, 1962

1962, as World Bank Group’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from World Bank Group’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1962.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 111 countries has every column.
