justify&semi;">&NewLine;The most simple and easy definition of inflation is reduction or drop in the value of money&period; Inflation is a comprehensive topics and it also have different types&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Several economists have described inflation in different ways&period; For example Coulborn define inflation as &&num;8220&semi;Too much money chasing too few goods&period;&&num;8221&semi; According to Crowther &&num;8220&semi;Inflation is a state of economy in which the value of money decreases&comma; i&period;e&comma; prices are rising&period;&&num;8221&semi; In simple words we can say that inflation is the steady increase in overall prices over long period of time&period; This increase in the price usually indicates an imbalance between demand and supply of goods at current prices&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>What are the rates of inflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<h3>Cost Push Inflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Cost push inflation is an inflation rate that occurred due to increased costs of products and services&period; The basic phenomenon is that manufacturing companies buy goods and services at higher prices because they get fewer benefits&period; So to win the necessary amount of the profits of these companies pass their higher costs to consumers and therefore inflation arises&period; In general&comma; costs of production increases due to factors such as increased demand for wages&comma; increase the tax burden from the government&comma; high raw material prices&comma; etc&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>Demand Pull Inflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Another type of inflation is a demand pull inflation that occurred due to increased aggregate demand for goods and services&period; Due to increased aggregate demand&comma; the profit margins of producers also increase so they try to produce more&comma; using all resources&period; But resources are scarce so the imbalance between supply and demand arises&period; This means that people demand more than the available supply so prices soar&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>Mild Inflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Mild inflation indicates a slow &lpar;say 3&percnt; to 4&percnt;&rpar; in the general price level over a long period of time&period; This inflation rate shows a positive growth in the economy and therefore must be maintained to the country&&num;8217&semi;s progress&period; When prices gradually increase the earnings of entrepreneurs and industrialists are also raised and try to produce more&period; As a result&comma; employ more workers to increase production&period; This increases the demand for labor which translates into increased employment&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>Suppressed Inflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Suppressed inflation is the inflation rate that the temporary measures taken to prevent inflation but eventually leads to inflation&period; In such cases the provision of basic necessities such as agricultural products is set by the government by introducing price controls on commodities&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s called repressed inflation because prices are suppressed through price controls&period; In the repressed inflation&comma; price control is below the equilibrium price&comma; but over time the inflationary pressures exerted all his force and thus keep track of prices at the balance&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<&excl;-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v&period;

the government imposes strict controls to curb price inflation&period; In such situations&comma; employers are forced to sell the products at the prices required&period; Now because employers can not sell the commodity at higher prices to get the profit&comma; therefore&comma; lower on the quality of products&period; This means that employers are selling lower quality products at higher prices and inflation that is hidden&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>Stagflation<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The situation in which unemployment and inflation rates are high is known as stagflation&period; It is the combination of two words i&period;e the stagnant economy and inflation in the economy&period; Basically stagflation of the economy refers to a situation in which investment in the country is growing&comma; but real income is constant or grows more slowly&period; Such a situation is caused by population growth&period; With increasing population&comma; demand for goods and services increases along with the money supply leading to inflation&period;&NewLine;<&sol;p><&sol;div>&NewLine;&NewLine;<&excl;-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v&period;
