Inflation, GDP Deflator, 1990

1990, as World Bank Group’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Inflation, GDP Deflator, 1990 covers 175 countries. Peru is highest, at 6,261.2396; Turkmenistan is lowest, at -20.8604. The middle country reads 7.9757. Against 1989, 174 values changed (96 up, 78 down), 1 country joined.

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 1990.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 175 countries has every column.
