Comparative Inflation Analysis

An economic analyst makes the following claim: 'The country whose price index increased by the largest absolute number of points must have also experienced the highest rate of inflation.'

Consider two hypothetical countries:

  • Country A's price index increased from 200 to 210 in one year.
  • Country B's price index increased from 120 to 128 in the same year.

Evaluate the analyst's claim by first calculating the inflation rate for both countries, and then explaining whether the claim is correct or incorrect based on your calculations.
