Inflation

Inflation Definition

Inflation is the phenomenon of rising prices. The effect may be due to fast growth in GDP (demand-pull inflation) or an increase in raw materials and/or production costs (supply-side/cost-push inflation). An exaggerated inflationary process is called hyperinflation (Conway, 2009).
