Inflation is a phenom that economies of the world can't fully eliminate, it just has to be managed. So it's always an issue that governments of the world dread.
On the flip side, something that's more dreaded by governments is transparency of economic operations.
Inflation can be traced to factors like; war, global stocks, pandemics, and other economic factors. However, transparency can't be traced to these factors.
Once government operations like spending, borrowing become verifiable by the public, then suddenly the political cover is missing, and citizens begin to ask harder questions.
A perfect reason why states resist public ledger systems; they expose gaps of accountability that inflation would naturally hide.
If only government will allow people to review the things they do behind doors, I'm sure that we are going to be having a change of government quarterly. If this one doesn't work as a suppose, people will demand for a change but you see accountability, nobody fear it like a government, even when they left the office after their regime, most of them look scared when called to come account for their spendings and expenditure, this is very common in Africa, they fear accountability.
How will think about what they fear in the first place? The government print money on to finance projects because they have limited amount to borrow, they implement useless policy to suffocate their people, they are poor with agricultural practices, all this combine result to limited amount of resources chased down by unlimited printed money, all these government hand work without solutions and you think they give anything about inflation? They don't, this is what every government does in cycle every 4 years.
