Country comparison
Core Inflation (Median) by Country
Median CPI takes the middle observation in the cross-section of consumer-price-index components in any month. It is a robust, outlier-resistant trend-inflation measure used by the Cleveland Fed, Bank of Canada, and others.
Why compare Core Inflation (Median) across countries?
Median CPI is one of the cleanest measures of underlying inflation persistence — it filters out the noise that dominates standard core measures. Central banks (notably the BoC) cite it directly when assessing whether inflation is structurally easing.
How to read the country list
Watch year-over-year change against the central-bank target. Compare with trimmed-mean and standard core inflation for convergent or divergent signals.
