Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Russian Federation's GDP deflator (base year varies by country) rose 4.9% on 2024 (from 199.15 to 208.81).

This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1,490.4% in 1992. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 12.88 a year. A straight line explains 95% of the movement over 10 observed years.
