IPTF publishes document for discussion on hyperinflationary economies

During July 2025, the International Practices Task Force (IPTF) at the Center for Audit Quality’s SEC Regulations Committee updated its working document listing countries that are considered to have hyperinflationary economies

The countries with a three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeding 100% are Argentina, Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Iran, Laos P.D.R, Lebanon, Malawi, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Suriname, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. 

As with previous editions, the IPTF cautions that this list has been compiled on the basis of available data and recommends that official sources and documents should be consulted when exercising professional judgement to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a country should or should no longer be classified as highly inflationary.
