It's worth reminding everyone that inflation is a YOY rate of change metric. If everything goes up 10% in year one and then another 5% year two, the reported inflation rate will be 5% despite everything having gone up 15.5% in two years.
With enough time inflation will eventually "come down" so a decreasing number is misleading with regards to how much stuff increased in cost.
