It would be a great scapegoat for further monetary expansion related inflation.

Step 1) Instigate price increases for temporary reasons, leading to noticeable price increases.

Step 2) As temporary reasons go away, increase money supply. Prices stay the same, you get to blame the causes from step (1) while not mentioning that the prices could have gone down when the problem went away, or blaming greedy companies for not lowering the prices.
