Inflation is the index of general growth of prices for goods and services.<\/strong> When prices grow, a unit of the national currency can buy fewer goods and services. Hence, inflation facilitates a decrease in the purchasing power of money. The opposite of inflation is deflation, which is a stable decline of the prices for goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
