Right now the "experts" are expecting it to peak around 5%, I do not see how that's possible, we're just starting to realize the price hikes due to fuel prices. There's a ton of other hikes already built in but not yet realized. Food prices are going to soar soon as farmers have not been able to get fertilizer.

We're going to hit 6% inflation before the elections IMO and the it still might go up from that.
