Inflation: Inflation is the rate at which prices for goods and services rise over time due to changes in supply, demand, or both. It can have far-reaching consequences on spending power as it decreases purchasing power when left unchecked. For instance, if inflation increases by 10% over one year then it would mean that prices across all sectors have gone up by 10%. This means individuals must now spend more money than before just to acquire the same products or services they previously purchased for less money prior to this price increase.
