This document discusses inflation including its definition, types, causes, effects, measurement, and measures to control it. Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in prices or fall in the value of money. The main types are open, suppressed, galloping, and hyper inflation. Key causes include an increase in money supply and deficit financing. Effects include inefficiencies in markets and uncertainty discouraging investment. Inflation is primarily measured using the Consumer Price Index. Measures to control inflation involve monetary, fiscal, and other policies like increasing production and implementing price controls.
In economics, inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.
Consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy.
Inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index, usually the consumer price index, over time.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

4. INTRODUCTION
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the
price level or a fall in the value of money.
When the level of currency of a country exceeds
the level of production, inflation occurs.
Value of money depreciates with the occurrence
of inflation.
5. DEFINITION
According to C.CROWTHER, “Inflation is
State in which the Value of Money is Falling
and the Prices are rising.”
In Economics, the Word inflation Refers to
General rise in Prices Measured against a
Standard Level of Purchasing Power.
7. • Open Inflation -:
The rate where Costs rise due to Economic
trends of Spending Products and Services.
• Suppressed Inflation -:
Existing inflation disguised by government Price
controls or other interferences in the economy such
as subsidies. Such suppression, nevertheless, can
only be temporary because
no governmental measure can completely contain
accelerating inflation in the long run. It is Also
Called Repressed Inflation.
8. • Galloping Inflation -: Very Rapid Inflation
which is almost impossible to reduce.
• Creeping Inflation -: Circumstance where
the inflation of a nation increases gradually, but
continually, over time. This tends to be a
typically pattern for many nations. Although the
increase is relatively small in the short-term, as it
continues over time the effect will become greater
and greater.
9. • Hyper Inflation -: Hyperinflation is caused
mainly by excessive deficit spending (financed
by printing more money) by a government,
some economists believe that
social breakdown leads to hyperinflation (not vice
versa), and that its roots lie in political rather than
economic causes.
10. CAUSES OF INFLATION
FACTORS ON DEMAND SIDE:
o Increase in money supply
o Increase in disposable income
o Deficit financing
o Foreign exchange reserves
11. Contd……
FACTORS ON SUPPLY SIDE
o Rise in administered prices
o Erratic agriculture growth
o Agricultural price policy
o Inadequate industrial growth
13. EFFECT OF INFLATION
• They add inefficiencies in the market,
and make it difficult for companies to
budget or plan long-term.
• Uncertainty about the future
purchasing power of money
discourages investment and saving.
14. • There can also be negative impacts to
trade from an increased instability in
currency exchange prices caused by
unpredictable inflation.
• Higher income tax rates.
• Inflation rate in the economy is higher
than rates in other countries; this will
increase imports and reduce exports,
leading to a deficit in the balance of
trade.
15. HOW IS INFLATION
MEASURED?
The 2 ways of Measuring Inflation
are -: Consumer Price Index
17. CONSEQUENCES OF
INFLATION
Adverse effect on production
Adverse effect on distribution of income
Obstacle to development
Changes in relative prices
Adverse effect on the B.O.P
