Det er interessant å se hvordan den høye prisstigningen avtar eller ikke avtar i ulike land for tiden. I Norge var mange eksperter overrasket over at prisstigningen fortsetter å være svært høy. Tallene for mai viste 6,7 prosent vekst i konsumprisindeksen det siste året.
De siste tallene fra USA viser at prisstigningen der er på vei nedover og at veksten på årsbasis nå er nede i 4 prosent. New York Times skriver:
"Federal Reserve officials received an encouraging inflation report on Tuesday as a key price index slowed more than expected in May, news that could give policymakers comfort in pausing interest rate increases at their meeting this week. The Consumer Price Index climbed 4 percent in the year through May, slightly less than the 4.1 percent economists had expected and the slowest pace in more than two years. In April, it had climbed 4.9 percent. While that remains about twice the rate that was normal before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, it is down sharply from a peak of about 9 percent last summer."
