Energy price hikes boosted average annual inflation across OECD countries to 3.3% in April, compared with 2.4% in March.


Inflation is viewed as a positive when it helps boost consumer demand and consumption, driving economic growth. Some believe inflation is meant to keep deflation in check, while others think inflation is a drag on the economy.


Economists agree there is upward pressure on prices. But there is no consensus on whether rising inflation is a temporary phenomenon that will fade as economies and consumers adjust to life after the pandemic, or if price rises signal the start of a sustained trend with major implications for workers and companies.
