#2  Nope.
Sorry guys but the title is wrong.
The 36% is the official number which glosses over much of the actual basic staples like electricity, gas, non-basic food essentials (meat and so on) as well as being tweaked via application of statistics.

The real inflation is above 100% at this moment and it will likely increase more as various stocks continue to run out.
