A spike of 18% is not “apocalyptic”. It’s quite bad, particularly if sustained for long, but “apocalyptic” is what they have in Lebanon: 500% inflation, and it seems to be rather sustained...

“A spike of 18% is not “apocalyptic”.”

True hyperinflation is accelerating inflation (often an exponential function)—so high inflation that fluctuates in different directions (like we have now) is not hyperinflation.
