world average:
4.6% (2016 est.) 3.6% (2015 est.)
developed countries:

developing countries:
6.6% (2016 est.) 4% (2015 est.)

note: the above estimates are weighted averages; inflation in developed countries is 0% to 4% typically, in developing countries, 4% to 10% typically; national inflation rates vary widely in individual cases; inflation rates have declined for most countries for the last several years, held in check by increasing international competition from several low wage countries and by soft demand due to the world financial crisis
