In an era where inflation was once dismissed in mainstream discourse, the inevitable confrontation with its second wave is upon us. The roots of this surge are traced back to the monetization of massive debts by socialist states through central banks, which have inflated private sector balance sheets. The rapid rise in interest rates, which might only now be afforded a brief respite, signals an ominous journey ahead: inflation, driven by resource scarcity and exacerbated by bureaucratic inefficiencies and increasing government intervention, is reshaping economic landscapes.
Economic experts globally predict persistent high inflation through 2028, according to quarterly surveys by the Ifo Institute and the Swiss Institute for Economic Policy. They anticipate only a marginal decrease in inflation rates over the next four years, suggesting limited opportunities for loose monetary policy with low interest rates. The global average inflation rate for 2025 is expected to be 3.9%.
"Inflation expectations remain above the targets of many central banks," stated Niklas Potrafke, a researcher at Ifo. "Significant interest rate reductions are unlikely under these inflation expectations."
Long-term forecasts are equally sobering, with experts predicting a slight decline. They project a global inflation rate of 3.5% for both 2026 and 2027. For Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the predictions for this year stand at 2.4%, 2.5%, and 1.2% respectively.
North America sees an uptick in inflation expectations, with the 2025 forecast at 2.6%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the previous quarter. Projections for 2026 and 2028 in the region are 2.8% and 2.9% respectively.
Regions like South America and parts of Africa are expected to experience particularly high inflation, with rates soaring over 20%.
(PS: of course real world prices are rising faster than the parasites would admit. But only that way they are able to run their gigantic system of growing power at hidden costs of the so called 'sovereign').
Good thing more and more people are switching to sound money.
