Prices will never stop rising, and that’s by design. Governments never aim for 0% inflation, because economists agree that *some* amount of inflation is always needed. Most governments instead try to have 2% YOY inflation to incentivize spending and disincentivize hoarding. Governments are usually pretty good at keeping inflation in the 0-2% range, so in that sense inflation is already fixed.
