Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods & services is
rising and consequently, the purchasing power of currency is falling.
Types of inflation:
1. Demand Pull Inflation: This represent a situation where the basic
factor at work is the increase in demand for resources either from the
government or the entrepreneurs or the household. It involves
inflation rising as real gross domestic product rises and unemployment
falls.
2. Cost Push Inflation: It is inflation caused by an increase in prices of
inputs like labor, raw material etc. The increased price of the factors of
production leads to a decreased supply of these goods. While the
demand remain constant, the prices of commodities increase causing a
rise in the overall price level.
