According to Van Dale, grab inflation is the inflation that is fueled by companies that fully or excessively pass on the cost increases of raw materials, means of production and labor to consumers in order to maintain or increase their profits. The word arose under the influence of the English “greedflation” and is a contraction of greed and inflation.
When Van Dale was elected, the term came first both here and in the Netherlands.
