Inflation will stay above +2% until 2025, eroding family purchasing power, delaying consumption recovery, and undermining the good impacts of anticipated fiscal relief. The pricing war continues unabated. The inflation rate will continue over +2% until at least 2025, threatening to deplete 10 billion euros of family buying power in three years. A drop that has an impact on consumption growth and may reduce the potential advantages of the future tax change. These are the figures provided by Confesercenti. In fact, the era of minimal inflation appears to be completely over. Even if the apex of 2022 appears to be sporadic and determined by external factors such as the energy shock, future inflation will be perpetually higher than what we are accustomed to. In fact, we anticipate a rate of growth in the price index of +5.7% this year, +3.8% in 2024, and +2.8% in 2025. Only in 2026 should it stabilize at +2%, the universally accepted target for price stability. However, the point of arrival quadruples when compared to the average inflation rate of + 0.5% observed in the four-year period 2016-2019, prior to the pandemic.
