In the US, M2 increased 70% in 2 years. Of course prices are going up. Anything less than a 70% increase means companies have a ways to go to catch up.
and i don’t think you’d expect it to. the increased supply needs to hit the market first. depending on how that money is distributed, that could take a long time. also remember that QE has been central fiscal policy in the UK and US since basically 2007. and it’s safe to say that concentration of this wealth is.. very high.

Yes we have high inflation now, but that’s just been a plain old cockup. The massive inflation reduction act stimulus for example.
