I think inflation post Covid hit Europe harder than it hit us. I remember reading about 20 per cent inflation in some European countries while I think we peaked at 8 per cent.

From Whitehouse.gov, for the G7 countries, US topped at about 10%, while UK, Germany and Italy all peaked higher. I’m sure there were other European countries that had even higher inflation.
