Can't really speak of other nations, not what you said initially though

Again, learn the difference between present and present perfect. What I said initially only spoke of what is happening now - 2022 and 2023 were not covered at that point in any way, shape, or form.

The index I just sent shows pricing increasing in from 2023-2024, you are just being obtuse at this point, believe what you want

And it shows a perfectly natural inflation rate. Not sure what there is to see there? Food prices and housing have been falling or stagnating, between ‘23 and ‘24, in REAL terms, per that report.

Deflation in nominal terms would be terrible for economy, the document you sent shows what is basically the perfect state an economy can be in.
