Three years have passed since the dreaded coronavirus began to dominate our lives. Inflation has been a major concern for our economy ever since the pandemic.
So what exactly is inflation? The rise in the cost of goods and services is known as inflation. Customer demand, issues with the supply chain, currency devaluation, and government policies, to name a few, are frequently the causes of inflation.
If we look at our current economic state, we can infer that the pandemic has started the current state of inflation. It may sound cliche, but it's actually true. People in America and the rest of the world want to leave their homes since they have been pent up for a year. According to economists, prices have increased as a result of the shutdown. As a result of the pandemic, or more accurately, out of revenge, people are spending more money on goods and services such as tourism.
We are currently experiencing a cooling phase. The CPI (Consumer Price Index) reveals that the inflation rate in America is now around 4%, down from a staggering 9.1% last year. The rate of inflation was about 2% prior to the pandemic.
Our best guess, given the evidence, is that rates will decline over the course of the next few years, returning our economy to a 2% rate.
So, Beyonce, it’s not entirely your fault.
