What is inflation?

Inflation means a sustained increase in prices and the associated loss of purchasing power, which is accompanied by an additional devaluation of money. Inflation occurs when the money supply grows disproportionately compared to the real supply of commodities. The consequences of inflation are rising prices for consumer and capital goods. The price index for the cost of living, the consumer price index, is usually used as an indicator.
