Inflation is a Global problem.

Absolutely inflation is in many places.

I could discuss some of the inflationary effects I see where I live when not in Mexico, but that would seem to be “off topic” for this message board.

We increased the pay of our gardener and maid by 20% the first pay day of January. Prices are definitely going up for all of us.

Interestingly, they haven't mentioned it, and have already had the increase twice. Maybe cultural??

There has been some discussion about the inflation of taxi fares from the posted official rates.

I expect there are other examples of inflation affecting users of the board, as well as inflation that affects local workers/residents.

Recently I was looking for a one-week car rental in January 2023. The price quoted was 40% higher than what I paid in October and November 2022, only two and three months ago. The reason given was, “The price went up because auto parts and maintenance is expensive.”

I have received an email advising me of price increases by my accountant. I haven’t read it yet, so I don’t know the details.

I have received an email with advice about the best methods to provide what is considered to be inevitable increases in wages and benefits to employees.
