2024 in context: The pandemic and the post-2020 surge
Prices barely rose in 2020 as the pandemic shut down spending on services. Then federal stimulus, reopening demand, supply-chain bottlenecks, and the energy shock after Russia's invasion of Ukraine pushed inflation to 8.0% in 2022, the highest annual rate since 1981. The Fed raised its policy rate from near zero in March 2022 to 5.25–5.50% by July 2023, and inflation slowed to 4.1% in 2023 and below 3% in 2024 and 2025.
- Inflation in 2024 was 2.9%, the 51st highest annual rate of the 112 full years from 1914 to 2025.
- From 2020 to 2025, inflation averaged 3.92% a year, from a high of 8.0% in 2022 to a low of 1.2% in 2020.
- Prices have not yet doubled from their 2024 level; they are up 5.9% since then.
