For the 189 countries for which data are available, median inflation for 2015 is running just below 2%, slightly lower than in 2014 and, in most cases, below the International Monetary Fund’s projections in its April World Economic Outlook. As the figure below shows, inflation in nearly half of all countries (advanced and emerging, large and small) is now at or below 2% (which is how most central bankers define price stability).
从有数据的189个国家看，2015年中位通胀水平正好不到2%，略低于2014年，也低于国际货币基金组织（IMF）在其4月的《世界经济展望》（World Economic Outlook）中的预测。下面的数据显示，目前近一半的国家（发达国家和新兴国家、大国和小国）通胀没有超过2%（大部分央行定义物价稳定的数字）。
