Japan has the loosest monetary policy in the world, negative central bank interest rates, huge debt, big public spending, yet inflation hasn't been above 4% for 40 years.

They also import all raw materials.

Actual monetary inflation is pretty bad. Sell everything to hoard worthless tokens of exchange... clearly something broken.
