Switzerland, China, Saudi Arabia… what lesson can we learn here… <smirk>

I did ornithology :) feel weird reposting everywhere

Negative inflation (also known as deflation) is not exactly good. So it’s wrong to show this in dark great. Implying is the best.

Target inflation should be 1-2% for a consumer economy.

Thank you for the feedback! I think it's a trade-off: you really lose out on the details on the rest of the chart that is already predominantly green as it is. Consider this: to go to 20% you would probably not only need to introduce one but two more primary colours (eg. one at 15% and one at 20%).

Introducing a new colour makes it noisier. In my opinion, adding on a whole rainbow of shades to differentiate 3% of the data (time and country/wise) is not worth it.

You have the link to the code. Feel free to try it out!

Thank you. It’s a nice overview for the past ~ten years but without the whole scale it’s kind of misleading. I understand that you need a broader color range for the representation of the whole inflation range so that the differences in the smaller values are visible but this way it doesn’t represent the true situation for some countries.

The factors you point out definitely have a balancing influence. However, you have different consumption baskets, some countries import more of their energy/oil or goods in general. To your point: the European countries are more homogenous.

These are the countries that OECD tracks. It's interesting to see the differences between say Germany and Frace or outliers like Greece or Switzerland.

Well, that means you need to do something to properly show the numbers, add a new colour further up? Tweek the grading? Both?

Let me try.

Norway - oil.

France energy exports from nuclear power plants.

I can only speculate, but I sure helps Norway that they at the moment is one of the greatest profiteers of the Russian invasion war into Ukraine. They are taking over a lot of the oil and gas sales that previously came from Russia. They are also exporting a lot of electricity to continental Europe (and UK?).

This is not directly the answer

They prefer Spain and Germany and avoid France. Beautiful map

I'm not sure green is the best colour to show recession. Maybe go towards a blue?

If they have the same currency and free trade, wouldn't they have largely the same inflation? What's the point of having 20 euro countries in the graph, just have eurowide.

If you extend the colour scale range to dark red=20% inflation, most of the chart is just uniformly green.

10% feels like a low maximum. Inflation is above 20% for the last few months in Hungary.

Correction for max.

Well, the Swiss Franc appreciated materially against most other currencies (which dampens the impact of inflation), they have the highest share of regulated prices in Europe and a lot of their power is produced from hydropower and nuclear. That all helps.

I think cargo is when there is extra space on a plane they will load cargo

Switzerland numbers looking real sus.

What is with France and Norway not having harsh inflation? Can anyone explain?

The Green bar is confusing because it conveys not the slightest bit of additional Information.

Why would they even have a cargo branche?

I would like to see a fifth order polynomial plot of the future trajectory of the reviews if all production was moved to Idaho
