The chart shows the year-over-year change in Belgium's consumer price index — the broadest measure of how fast prices are rising for households. Inflation running above a central bank's comfort zone (typically around 2% in developed markets, higher in emerging ones) pressures policymakers to keep rates tight; falling inflation opens the door to easing. For investors, the direction of inflation often matters more than the level: accelerating inflation compresses valuations and forces tightening, while disinflation has historically been a tailwind for both bonds and equities.
