The last time the U.S. saw such high values was in 1990, when the inflation rate stood at 5.4 percent. But it's not all doom and gloom.

Ever-rising prices

Consumers are changing their shopping habits in response to the bleakest inflationary market the industry has seen in decades. Rising grocery prices are the main issue affecting online shoppers worldwide. While grocery products are the latest items to be cut off by consumers in times of instability, rising prices will cause shoppers to purchase less and find cheaper alternatives for fashion items. Moreover, in February 2022, roughly 62 percent of global buyers changed their purchase habits with alcoholic beverages, 57 percent with packaged food, and 44 percent with fresh food.

Abstract

Food price inflation is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources of consumer prices are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations. This data set includes food price estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.
