CAQ publishes highly inflationary economies document noting that Egypt no longer has a three-year cumulative inflation rate over 100%
The Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) SEC Regulations Committee and its International Practices Task Force discussed recent inflation data for certain countries at its November 2025 meeting and issued a discussion document in January 2026 noting that Egypt no longer has a three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeding 100% in the most recent annual period reported. Egypt’s three-year cumulative inflation rate was between 70% and 100% in the last calendar year. The discussion document also includes a list of countries whose three-year cumulative inflation rate continues to exceed 100% in the most recent annual period reported.
Accounting Standards Codification 830, Foreign Currency Matters, requires a foreign entity in a highly inflationary economy to remeasure its financial statements using its parent’s reporting currency, as of the beginning of the reporting period, including interim reporting periods, following the period in which the economy becomes highly inflationary. An economy is considered highly inflationary when it has a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100% or more over a three-year period.
Given global inflation trends, entities with foreign operations should continue monitoring inflation in countries in which they operate that have high levels of inflation.
