Deflation isn't horrible unless you have a lot of debt, it rewards savers. It's probably less efficient for central banks to try to 'hack' inflation than just deploy fiscal policy.

And we're almost definitely seeing inflation in the finanical markets. It's not great that valuations are so divorced from fundamentals.
