Additionally, while the domestic purchasing power of the dollar has declined, the currency also experienced significant depreciation against foreign exchange markets, falling nearly 10% in 2025 and hitting a four-year low in early 2026 due to policy uncertainties and shifting global investor sentiment.
Based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. dollar has indeed lost approximately 23% to 29% of its purchasing power since 2020, with $100 in 2020 equivalent to roughly $129 today. This decline reflects a cumulative price increase of 29.43% driven by an average annual inflation rate of 4.39%, accelerated by post-pandemic fiscal stimulus and supply chain disruptions.
