Reply to comment by NegativeCap1975 in [OC] Inflation heatmap for 44 European, other DM and EM countries by adebar

Must be because it exceeded the range, as the graph only shows within the range of -2% to 10% only. The same was the case with Russia.

Hungary is also exceeding the range in pretty sure, but it’s just marked in dark red.

Oh, I just looked it up. Compared to the same month of the previous year, yeah, the last months of 2022 did show more than 20% inflation rate. Perhaps the inflation rate of Japan and Russia were not input so the graph only shows theirs in white. Even zero percent would at least show a color.

idk what inflation Hungary reports towards the OECD though. I know that the official (for this month) inflation rate is sth like 22% but even that is fudged due to price caps and biased selection of what products to consider, I wouldn't be surprised if through some Fidesz math the reported value is closer to 10% (gotta love this godforsaken country)

Definitely not. Japan has been seeing inflation. Not too bad, but basically anything imported has gone up 30-40%. There is absolutely more inflation now in Japan than there has been in the past 30 years.
