As a percentage of supply, Ethereum only issues about 10% as much as Bitcoin.
On top of that, a portion of Ethereum fees are burned instead of paid to stakers. The supply is still slowly increasing, but at a (fairly modest) fee level of around 16 gwei the supply starts to shrink. The higher the demand for blockspace, the faster the supply shrinks.
