Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
This is a year-on-year rate of change, not the absolute level — a level can stay high while its change reads as high stress.
Food inflation currently reads 5.08 % YoY, mapping to a stress of 0/100 — well inside the calm zone.
Across the tracked period the stress has eased by 44.6 points.
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — medium. How it is derived: Rosstat on staples; the most painful indicator for households.
