Why it matters
Inflation Rate is a contributing indicator to the Economic meta-index, one of the five dimensions of The Human Index composite. Higher raw value = more stress.
Movements in this indicator are tracked daily and feed into every country's composite score on the next cron cycle.

Raw values are normalized to a 0–100 stress scale per the bounds documented in the codebase. See methodology for the full normalization and band-threshold derivation.
