COVID-19, Supply Chain Shocks, and the Return of High Inflation
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the largest peacetime government spending programs in history. Combined with supply chain disruptions and surging demand, this produced inflation rates not seen since the 1970s — peaking at 9.1% in June 2022 in the United States. The purchasing power of a 2020 dollar had fallen to approximately 84 cents by 2023. This was the most dramatic peacetime erosion of purchasing power in a generation, directly affecting everyday prices for groceries, rent and energy. Central banks worldwide raised interest rates aggressively to restore price stability.
Between January 2020 and December 2022, US grocery prices rose 20% — the fastest two-year increase since the oil shock years of the 1970s.
