Because otherwise all our wages would needed to be increased every few months, and they didn’t want to do that.
Gas prices went down a lot. Because of the mild winter people are using a lot less than usual. Food prices however are still completely absurd. When gas prices go back up inflation will shoot up like a rocket. The core inflation is already going up at this point.
Inflation is the price increase of all goods – essential goods. This means people are running out of money to buy non-essential goods, so their price doesnt increase that hard anymore. This should have been influenced by jacking up interest rates, proving simple economic axioms.
De korte samenvatting: omdat wunsch zijn werk goed doet. Je die die Vandenbroucke wou opofferen in een politiek spel rond nieuwjaar
How much is the indexation helping here?
I negotiated a new fixed gas price exactly today.
Indexation is a lot of it, even though employers sure did their best to skip a year. Looks like the profits survived tho.
Because it’s a lie.
Inflation salary spiral is utter bullshit
Slowing economic growth. The IMF estimates only 0.9% for 2024.

Indexing doesn’t stop the actual rate of inflation, rather helps to increase purchasing power to help overcome the loss caused by inflation.
