Economic History | Uzbekistan | Uzbekistan's inflation averaged nearly 1,000% p.a. in 1992-94, peaking at 1,281% in 1994 (12 month change in CPI). (references) |
Malaysia | CPI declined to 1.6% in 2000, following an increase of 2.8% in 1999 and 5.3% in the recession year of 1988. The government predicts inflation will remain moderate at below 2% this year. (references) | |
Indonesia | The Government's implementation of a 30.5 percent average fuel price increase on June 16 caused YoY CPI inflation to surge in June 2001 to 12.11 percent, the highest level in two years. (references) | |
Political Economy | SINGAPORE | Since the economic recovery, price levels have been rising with the CPI expected to increase by 3.5 percent in 2001. The average prime lending rate among the leading banks is currently at 5.8 percent. (references) |
POLAND | Increasingly restrictive fiscal and monetary policies reduced annual average inflation from 37 percent in 1993 to 10.1 percent in 2000. In 1999, average CPI inflation was 7.3 percent, but an acceleration in late 1999 and early 2000 led the MPC to miss its targets in both years. (references) | |
POLAND | In response, monetary policy was tightened significantly, with the MPC raising rates by a total of six percentage points from late 1999 to the fall of 2000. As a result of both tighter money and the slowing economy, inflation has dropped significantly, with the estimated CPI increase for 2001 of 4.7 percent, below the MPC's six-to-eight percent target range.
