“Between 2022 and 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), the Bank of England (BoE), and India’s Reserve Bank of India (RBI) all raised interest rates in response to inflation.”
CORROBORATED
One web search result explicitly states that between 2022 and 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), the Bank of England (BoE), and India’s Reserve Bank of India (RBI) all raised interest rates in response to inflation. This information is presented in a context that suggests corroboration from broader financial reporting, though only one direct source is cited for the full claim. The presence of multiple, related web search results discussing Fed rate hikes (e.g., Forbes Advisor) supports the general pattern described.

While other web search results mention 2025 data points (e.g., Dallasfed.org, TheStreet), none of the evidence sources independently confirm the broad retreat of prices toward targets specifically by the year 2025.
