https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/inflation-cpi 7% inflation is exponential in 10 years i.e prices would double. "A quantity grows exponentially when its increase is proportional to what is already there. A common example is compound interest, where $100 invested at 7% per year annual compound interest will double in 10 years! Exponential growth applies to populations, too -- if a population grows at 7% per year, it, too, will double in 10 years." http://www.ecofuture.org/pop/facts/exponential70.html Of course inflation would have to stay at 7% for the entire 10 years for it to be exponential. But it also means an inflation rate of 14% is exponential in 5 years.
