Step 1 Definition of Inflation

Q. Explain some policies to reduce the high rate of inflation.  

Definition:

Inflation is an increase in the general price level of an economy.

The policies which control/reduce the high rate of inflation include-

  • Monetary policy, in particular, increasing the rate of interest which reduces demand and that helps bring the rate of inflation under control or desired level.
  • Contractionary Fiscal policy - Higher income tax or lower government expenditure will reduce aggregate demand (AD), leading to lower growth in the economy and less demand-pull inflation.
