Is it true that lowering interest rates causes higher inflation?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly test whether lowering interest rates causes higher inflation. One economics Q&A notes that rising rates can raise measured inflation short-term via mortgage costs, and a Nigeria study finds interest rates Granger-cause inflation, but neither settles the claim as stated.
