Overview
United States's consumer price index stood at 151.89 in 2025, a rise of +8.04 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 151.89 by 2025. United States ranked 104th globally.
The United States’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached 151.89 in 2025, the highest figure recorded since the series began in 1960 when the index stood at 13.56, and placed the country 104th among 213 economies in the World Bank database. Over the 66‑year coverage period the CPI has risen more than tenfold, reflecting persistent inflationary pressures that intensified during the post‑pandemic recovery and the energy price spikes of the early 2020s. Compared with peers occupying adjacent ranks, Norway posted a CPI of 151.76 and Kuwait recorded 153.36, indicating that the United States now operates at a price level comparable to high‑inflation economies in both Europe and the Gulf. The long‑term upward trajectory suggests that future movements will hinge on monetary policy responses, supply‑chain resilience and fiscal stimulus; a sustained tightening of interest rates or a shock to energy markets could either moderate or accelerate the current inflation path.
