Let's start with the fact we have 5% inflation in my country, down from ~8% as we push up interest rates and deliberately drive down GDP including to -0.2%.

Oh, and I'm not from the US so fed means nothing.

I believe every country has fiat currency, so you have your version of the fed. Also dont trust the number they give you for inflation, its bullshit.

So in the US, the money is created via the federal revserve and it is done by loaning out money, the only reason inflation rate decreases is that they raise the interest rate so people want less money, so they loan out less money. That money is paid back to the fed, but new money has been made. If you are still interested, I can tell you how this takes away wealth from the poor and middle class.
