There is no relationship between money and inflation because the money doesn't go to the pockets of people who can spend money. The extra money goes usually (the covid programs are an aberration) to the pockets of the financial elite, and they become stocks and other financial assets. The price of these assets go up, so there is asset inflation, but not real product inflation. The characteristics of fiat money work because the created money is really going to the pockets of the rich to inflate their net worth.
