Producer and Consumer Price Inflation (1946–1959)

During the post-liberation and Korean War periods, with consumer prices peaking at 390.5% in 1951 and producer prices showing sharper fluctuations in the immediate post-liberation years. Inflation gradually stabilized through the late 1950s following monetary policy adjustments.

Note: Data for 1950–1952 are unavailable, coinciding with the Korean War (1950–1953), during which the collapse of statistical infrastructure and extreme macroeconomic instability precluded reliable price data collection.
