Same for USD and other major currencies, as most countries have inflation around 2%. Only currency that has done significantly better is the swiss frank.


Through some technicality maybe it’s that, but food prices have increased by a large double-digit percentage. Construction materials (and laborers) are stupidly expensive.


if you think inflation rate is at 2% you must be living under a rock


On average over the last 25 years according to perplexity. (for example, found an old message about price of bread in 2000: 1.99 dutch guilders. You can now get a bread for 2 euros. That translates to 3.21%) I think a lot of people are overestimating inflation percentages over longer periods of time.
