Read the following passage and mark your answers for questions from :
In economics, inflation refers to a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services over a period of time. It reflects erosion in the purchasing power of money. When the general price level rises, the purchasing power of money comes down as each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Originally the term inflation was used to refer to the amount of money in circulation.
The principal measure of inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in Consumer Price Index over time. Inflation impacts an economy in various ways; it can have simultaneously both positive and negative effects. The negative effects include: a decrease in the real value of money and other monetary items over time; As there is uncertainty over future inflation, it may discourage investments and savings; and high inflation may lead to shortages of goods if consumers begin hoarding out of concern that prices will increase in the future.
The huge increase in the retail prices of onions, vegetables and other commodities in India is an example of the effect of inflation. It also has positive effects; e.g. a high rate of inflation encourages investment in non-monetary capital projects.
