Inflation
In
economics,
inflation is a sustained increase in the general
price level of goods and services in an
economy over a period of time. When the price level rises, each unit of
currency buys fewer goods and services. Consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the
purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general
price index, usually the
consumer price index, over time. The opposite of inflation is
deflation.
