Ceny tovarov a služieb vo všetkých krajinách EÚ, vrátane Slovenska, začali výrazne rásť v dôsledku pandémie COVID-19, ktorá narušila globálne ponukové reťazce. Pandémia taktiež zmenila štruktúru spotreby domácností, ktoré zvýšili podiel výdavkov na tovary na úkor služieb. Celková inflácia sa zvýšila po Ruskej vojenskej invázii na Ukrajine, ktorá spôsobila globálny rast cien energií a poľnohospodárskych komodít. Podiel výdavkov slovenských domácností na potraviny a nealkoholické nápoje na celkových výdavkov tvorí v súčasnosti viac ako 26%.
