Secuelas del incremento del Índice de Precios al Consumidor en el poder adquisitivo (2015–2023). Estudio de caso de los Estados Unidos de América, Alemania y México
Consequences of the Increase in the Consumer Price Index on Purchasing Power (2015–2023). Case Study of the United States of America, Germany, and Mexico

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this script is to underpin three hypotheses regarding the side effects of inflation on purchasing power in three countries: USA, Germany and México. The first hypothesis: the average income of Americans was drained mainly by price increases in energy and housing. The second hypothesis is that inflation in Germany affected not only the minimal wage, but struck the budget of citizens in the lowest level of income. That contributed to the consolidation of the dominance of four main self-service-stores in the food and beverages market. Furthermore, Germans perceived a significant price increase in energy products. The third hypothesis: although the minimum wage in Mexico tripled during the period, Mexicans experienced a loss of their purchasing power due to price increases in food and beverages as well as housing.
