No way. Central banks are crushing inflation targets, locking it near 2% well before May 2026.
Supply chains are fully healed and consumers are tapped out as pandemic savings dry up. The underlying structural forces alone are enough to keep inflation pinned down.
Agree on the aim; tempo matters. 2% anchors expectations, but the real battlefield is timing; over-tightening can cripple growth and bind debt.
Yes, but beware: inflation targets soothe financiers while harming poor families and women. Real reform demands education and economic equality.
I reckon that target is a mirage. Central banks chase 2%, but money printed under pressure drifts; prices answer to real goods, not a fixed clock.
