How are the inflation and growth of the economy related?
Can you tell me how inflation and growth are related in the economy?
Yes, of course. Inflation and growth are usually positively related in the short term. This is because when there is economic growth, demand for goods and services increases, which causes prices to rise. This is known as demand-pull inflation. However, in the long term, high levels of inflation can actually hinder economic growth as it reduces the purchasing power of consumers and causes uncertainty for businesses.
