After World War I, Germany faced enormous reparations demands from the Treaty of Versailles, which strained its economy. To pay these reparations and support its war-torn economy, the German government resorted to printing vast amounts of money, leading to hyperinflation. This excessive money supply devalued the German mark, causing prices to skyrocket and savings to evaporate, ultimately resulting in one of the worst inflation crises in history.

Raising interest rates can be a preemptive measure to prevent future inflation or to stabilize the economy, even when current inflation is low. Central banks may also aim to strengthen their currency or encourage savings and investment. Additionally, low inflation does not always equate to economic health; increasing rates can help mitigate asset bubbles or excessive risk-taking in financial markets. Ultimately, the decision is influenced by broader economic indicators and long-term growth objectives.

As of 2023, $2 billion in 1945 would be approximately equivalent to around $30 billion to $35 billion today, depending on the specific inflation calculations used. This reflects significant economic changes and inflation over the decades since World War II.
Germany rose up with determination and knew that what they had to do was to be done, and so they did whatver they had to do.
