Frequently Asked Questions
Global long-term averages typically range from 2-4% per year, but actual rates vary significantly by country and year. Check your national statistics office for local data.
Purchasing power is what your money can actually buy. With 3% inflation, 100 units of currency today will only buy about 74 units worth of goods in 10 years.
If your savings earn less than the inflation rate, you are losing purchasing power. Aim for investments that outpace inflation.
