Inflation Impact

Definition

Inflation impact refers to the effects that a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services has on an economy. This phenomenon reduces the purchasing power of currency, meaning each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Its consequences can manifest in altered consumer spending patterns, shifts in investment strategies, and changes in the real value of savings and debt. Understanding these repercussions is critical for economic analysis and policy formulation.
