    • Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.

    • Demand-Pull Inflation occurs when aggregate demand exceeds the available supply of goods and services, leading to an increase in prices.

    Causes of Inflation

    • One of the main causes of inflation is an increase in the money supply in the economy, which can lead to a surge in demand and hence higher prices.

    Effects of Inflation on Economic Decisions

    • Inflation can affect economic decisions by altering the purchasing power of consumers, leading to changes in consumption patterns and investment decisions.
    • It can also influence the decision-making of businesses, as they may need to adjust their production and pricing strategies to accommodate the changing price level.
