Also unless the inflation rate goes negative, the actual price of goods is not going down, it's just increasing slower because you had a whole years worth of high inflation. If YoY inflation goes down that just means last year's inflation was already so high, relative to this year we are "only" increasing by 3% or 4%, etc.

In that sense the inflation is now baked in, and we only make future increases slower but we don't unwind back to the original price without some serious deflation.

Monthly inflation in December was -0.1%.
