THINK INFLATION HIT YOU
HARD IN 1974? Well, be glad you
weren't living in Italy or Japan,
where inflation zoomed by more
than 20 percent As this chart
shows, the U.S. rate —a little over
12 percent—ranked below eight
other industrial countries. Only the
Netherlands and Germany reported
slower growth rates.
While the U.S. rate of inflation
in 1974 went up about 40 percent
over 1973, it nearly doubled in four
countries—ltaly, the United King
dom, Belgium, and France. Only
Germany had a lower rate of infla
tion in 1974 than in 1973.
Higher food and oil prices were
the major culprits. Food prices
played a smaller role in 1974 than
in 1973, however. They accounted
for about 45 percent of the 1973
inflation in the 11 countries shown
in the chart, whereas in 1974, they
accounted for a little under 30 per
cent. Here at home, food prices

were responsible for a little over
half of the price rise for all items
in 1973, compared with about one
fourth in 1974, when food prices
rose at about the same rate as all
other items.
Oil prices, on the other hand,
had their greatest impact in 1974,
though it's difficult to tell just how
much they added to the inflationary
spiral.
Climbing prices of many raw
materials and wage increases also
fueled inflation. Prices of such
commodities as lead, zinc, cop
per, tin, rubber, and cotton
were at 10-year highs through
out 1973-74. Most of these prices
have been declining in recent
months, however, so their impact
on inflation should ease off. Wage
demands, on the other hand, will
probably remain a major force in
the 1975 picture.
