record InflationResponse(
    BigDecimal cpi,
    BigDecimal momGrowthFactor,
    BigDecimal yoyGrowthFactor
) {}
SequencedMap<LocalDate, InflationResponse> inflatonData = 
    ecbFetchService.fetch(new HICPInflationRequest(
        startDayIncl, 
        endDayIncl, 
        CALCULATE_MOM_GROWTH, 
        CALCULATE_YOY_GROWTH
    ));
