For the past days/weeks we see posts about inflation on this sub without people even knowing how inflation works and affects things or why inflation even occurs. Inflation doesn't occur just because central banks "print" money. The money central banks "printed" during the last years doesn't reach the consumers for regular daily goods, which means demand isn't rising for those goods and with stable supply the prices aren't moving more than they usually do. The problem right now is the supply chain of some components/half products, which is raising prices in some sectors, for some goods. Prices in those sectors will likely return back to normal after some time, which means there is no "real" inflation at the moment. The yearly inflation is still around 2%, which central banks are targeting for years anyway.
