Discover the Causes of Inflation

Inflation is defined as the rise in price of consumer goods and services over a period of time in a particular economy. It is commonly measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator. CPI measures the price increase of goods and services whereas GDP 0B0-103 deflator measures the actual change in price of all domestic products.
With this increase in price increases the cost of living and greatly affects the lifestyle of people in the country. There are many researchers and analyst who tried to found out why such a thing happens and who are the key culprits of this inflation. Eventually it was found that the price increase is dependent on many factors.
Some of the significant causes of inflation in an economy are as follows:
Excessive Money
Demand Vs Supply is a very common equation that works wonders when the equation equals to one. But in case if the demand increases and supply is restricted then economy would experience a tough time because it would fail to meet the demands of one and all. This issue often becomes a challenge for both the economy 0B0-101 and the people when there is excessive money. It's obvious that if anyone has more money, the desire to buy more and spend more will automatically rise.
Increased Cost of Production
When the production cost increases, then companies tend to increase cost price of products in order to cope up with the rise. Every business firm and company is established with a desire to earn profits. In such a scenario if the cost or raw materials or machinery increases, the overall production cost would certainly increase. This also holds true if the cost of labor increases. This increase in production cost ends up by adding a heavy price tag to the final product, eventually putting the entire burden of inflation on the customers.
Deprecation in Exchange Rates
This kind of depreciation causes the price of import to increase and the price of export to decrease. Any item that is imported would come with a heavy price tag and then the product would move in its own business cycle till it reaches the final consumer. Finally, when the product reaches the buyer, he or she is pressurized with the heavy price tag that covers all the cost of manufacturer, dealer, 0B0-102 distributor, wholesaler, and even the price paid for importing the product to the country.
National Debts
When a country requires borrowing money to cope up with certain economic crisis, then it has to deal with interest. The borrowed amount along with the interest has to be paid back to the country that lends money. In order to keep pace with the increasing loan tenure and the high interest, the country often increases price of consumer goods and services.
