Note: World inflation is the GDP (gross domestic product)-weighted, 4-quarter percent change of consumer price indexes for selected economies. Global components are GDP-weighted aggregates of each economy’s common component. Noncore inflation encompasses food and energy categories. Headline inflation is the aggregate of core and noncore inflation using economy-specific weights. Data extend through 2024:Q1.

Note: Global components are GDP (gross domestic product)-weighted components estimated through a factor model that isolates co-movement from economy-specific trends and transitory movements. Noncore inflation encompasses food and energy categories. Forecast shown is derived from the factor model and driven by the statistical persistence of the global components. Headline global component is the weighted average of core and noncore global components using economy-specific weights. Data extend through 2027:Q4. Shaded area refers to the forecast period.

Note: Figure 5 illustrates decomposition for selected inflationary periods stemming from vector autoregressive models estimated from 1961:Q1 to 1994:Q4 (left panel) and from 1995:Q1 to 2024:Q1 (right panel). Global component of headline inflation and its decomposition are constructed from economy-specific core inflation weights and aggregated with gross domestic product (GDP) weights. Global activity shocks combine shocks to the global component of core inflation, to global GDP, and to labor market shortages. Commodity shocks combine shocks to the global component of noncore inflation, to oil prices, and to global commodity prices. Noncore inflation encompasses food and energy categories. Data extend through 2024:Q1.
