        abstract = {The world-wide inflationary wave after the COVID-19 crisis and the further geopolitical unrest greatly altered the macroeconomic stability in both developed and emerging economies. The paper examines the trends of global inflation between the year 2022-2025 based on the statistics provided by the international monetary fund world economic outlook (WEO) data bank with particular reference to the emerging market trends. The study is quantitative, descriptive, and comparative in nature with the aim of tracing the inflation trends in advanced economies and Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs), and proceeds to examine differences between some of the chosen emerging markets, such as India, Brazil, Argentina, Turkey and South Africa. The results show that the peak of inflation in the world was reached in 2022 and is slowly decreasing, but the disinflation process is not becoming even. Developed economies have had a quicker recovery, which is close to central bank target rates by 2025, but in contrast, emerging markets still have more and prolonged pressure of inflation. The paper has found that exchange rate volatility, sensitivity of food and energy prices, deep-rooted inflation expectations and policy credibility constraints are the main factors hindering the emergence of high inflation rates in emerging economies. On-country-level analysis indicates the high level of heterogeneity within emerging markets, the importance of institutional strength of the country and macroeconomic management. The results demonstrate that credible inflation targeting, structural reforms, and exchange rate stabilization policies are necessary so as to have sustainable price stability. The paper can be used to explain the dynamics of post-pandemic inflation and provide policy implications focused on improving macroeconomic resilience in the emerging markets.},
