   Even more simple: The more money circulating in relation to   
   the goods and services the country produces, the more likely   
   that prices will go up.   
      
   Further, the COVID-19 crisis made many people drop out   
   of the labor force and started a trend where businesses   
   have to pay more for help. This also affects raw material   
   prices and of course, transportation costs are up as oil   
   skyrockets.
