An economist presents a scatter plot showing data for several developed nations. The vertical axis represents the average inflation rate from 1962-1990, and the horizontal axis represents a measure of how independent each nation's central bank was from political influence in the mid-1980s. The data points on the plot show a clear trend, starting from the upper-left area and moving towards the lower-right area. What is the most logical conclusion to draw from this specific data pattern?
