I've been reading bits and pieces here and there about inflation creeping into various national economies. Everyone in official capacity denies it, of course.
But Mari and I are seeing prices of small things begin to rise. In staid Japan, where prices have been flat for a decade or more, is seeing even basic foodstuffs like soy milk start to creep up; the size I buy a few times a week just jumped from ¥84 to ¥95.
