| Inflation Inflation is a price that results in a loss of buying power overtime. The average change in the price of a basket of selected goods and services overtime might show the rate at which buying power declines. The increase in pricing, frequently stated as a percentage, signifies that a unit of money buys less than it did previously. Inflation is distinguished from deflation, which happens when prices fall but buying power rises. Types of Inflation ● Demand-Pull Inflation Demand-pull Inflation happens when an increase in the supply of money and credit causes the public demand for goods and services to rise faster than the economy's capacity to produce them. This boosts demand and drives up prices. ● Cost-Push Inflation: Cost-push inflation is caused by price increases in the manufacturing process inputs. When new money and credit are routed into a commodity or other asset markets, the prices of all sorts of intermediary items rise. This is especially noticeable when there is a negative economic shock to critical commodity supplies. 35 ● Built In: Builtin inflation is linked to adaptive expectations or the belief that present inflation rates will persist in the future. Price Indices Wholesale Price Index (WPI): It measures and records variations in the prices of items throughout the phases before retail. While WPI goods differ per nation, they often cover things at the producer or wholesale level. Cotton costs for raw cotton, cotton yarn, cotton grey items, and cotton garments, for example, are all included. Consumer Price Index (CPI): It evaluates the weighted average of costs fora basket of essential products and services for consumers. Transportation, food, and medical care are among them. CPI is derived by averaging price increases for each item in a predefined basket of products based on their relative weight in the overall basket. The prices considered are the retail pricing of each item as they are available for purchase by ordinary citizens. Download 4.08 Mb. Share with your friends:
