Retrieve inflation data from The World Bank data base (http://databank.worldbank.org/data/home.aspx) for India, Spain, and South Africa for \(2011-2015\). Prepare a chart that compares India, Spain, and South Africa based on the data. Describe the key differences between the countries. Rank these countries as high-, medium-, and low-income. Explain what is surprising or expected about the data.

After retrieving inflation data from The World Bank data base for India, Spain, and South Africa for the years 2011-2015, we created a chart comparing inflation rates of the three countries. We observed that India had the highest inflation rates, followed by South Africa, while Spain had the lowest inflation rates throughout the period. According to the World Bank's income classification, India is categorized as a lower-middle-income country, South Africa as an upper-middle-income country, and Spain as a high-income country. An expected finding from the data is the lower inflation rates in the high-income country (Spain) compared to the other countries. However, it is surprising that India, being a lower-middle-income country, had higher inflation rates than South Africa, an upper-middle-income country.
