In addition to that the official consumer price index is considered to be half as low as ‘people’s’ inflation but in some cases this gap can be larger - thats according to experts of Opora Rosii - non-governmental organization that represents interests of small and medium-sized enterprises. That claim is indeed to a large extent confirmed by a survey of so called houshold observed inflation (again published by the Central Bank of Russia) which reported inflation of 20,5% in August and 22,2% in July.
And although you think it is going to be between 8-12% and lower than in Europe, Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov believes inflation will come in at 12-13% in 2022 (his press conference on August 29th), whereas at the same time ECB forecsts inflation in the Eurozone to average 8,1%. Somehow I believe ECB more than you.
It is hard to argue with the person who lacks a slight idea of the subject, like you are.
Yearly inflation is cumulative. It can be 22% in July, and 12% by December, due to compensatory deflation.
Although I feel like explaining a rocket science to a janitor based on your previous comments.
If you believe that the West might have 50% producer’s inflation and 8% consumer inflation then maybe you are a guy someone can sell a bridge to.
Check out your expenses to start with. Are you sure the stuff you buy right now is only 8% more expensive compared to a year ago?
