hyperinflationary

Prices spiraling uncontrollably upward

Hyperinflationary describes conditions of hyperinflation—extreme, rapid currency devaluation where prices rise uncontrollably, often doubling within days or weeks.

The hyperinflationary spiral destroyed people's savings.

A hyperinflationary environment makes normal economic planning impossible; people rush to spend money before it loses more value.
