In a statement, U.S. President Joe Biden asserted that the inflation level when his administration assumed office in 2021 was 9 percent, and the CPI indicator was around 1.4 percent at that time.
According to the president, no previous government has done better in terms of generating employment opportunities and reducing inflation than the current one. I took over at 9 percent, Biden added.
This is not the first time President Joe will refer to it. In an April statement, Biden stated that his administration has done well to significantly minimize the level of inflation from the initial 9 percent to 3 percent. The situation is far better than it was when we assumed office.
After 18 months in office, President Joe’s administration saw inflation increase from 1.4 percent to 9.1 percent in June 2022. However, it has decreased to 3.5 percent as of March 2024. From this analysis, it seems to have performed well above the National Reserve threshold level of 2%.
