INFLATION  MEANING & IMPACT

UNIQUE BUSINESS IDEAS

When prices of goods gradually increase over time across the economy, and that erodes purchasing power for individuals and businesses.  

Note

Note: It is not the price hike of a single or few items, it has to be either for the entire economy, industry, or sector 

The best way to determine inflation. In 2021, your average grocery spending was 10K per month, now in 2022 for similar stuff you spend an average of 12K per month. That indicates inflation in the FMCG sector 

Healthy economy gives not more than 2% inflation, for economists that situation is considered as pricing stability 

When there is pricing stability and inflation does not influence purchasing power negatively, encourage people to spend more boosting the economy 

Situation DEMAND PULL 

When demand is high but supply is less the price of the product goes up, and if the situation prolongs brings inflation to that sector 

Situation   COST PUSH 

When the price of input goods and services for production goes high consistently for a longer period, the producer hike the price of the finished goods & service to pass the burden to end users
