Lagarde: Appears We Have Not Reached Peak Inflation

The video discusses the current state of inflation, highlighting that inflation rates have been high, with core inflation also elevated. There is uncertainty about whether inflation has peaked, particularly due to the pass-through of high energy costs. In the long term, inflation is expected to decline due to monetary policy and the resolution of supply bottlenecks.
