hyperinflating
Money losing value
Hyperinflating describes prices or currency losing value at an extreme, runaway rate—typically when a government prints money faster than the economy can absorb it.
The country's hyperinflating currency made a loaf of bread cost millions.
The term extends figuratively to anything expanding wildly out of control: hyperinflating expectations, hyperinflating egos.
