Zero inflation is where the economy reach a state of 0% inflation rate. This is not really good in the sense that it shows the economy is stagnant/not growing. This may turn away the investors. Mild inflation is basically low rate of inflation around 2% to 3%. Mild inflation shows that an economy is stable and indicates economic growth.
The lowest inflation rate in the world is 0% in Japan. There are countries in which there is a negative inflation, but these cases are not called low inflation, they are called deflation. the highest deflation rate is 3% in Nauru (you may as well call it a -3% inflation)

High rates.However, high interest rates are usually a consequence of high inflation rates and so what matters is not the interest rate but the real interest rate which is the nominal interest rate relative to the inflation rate.Thus a 3% interest rate when inflation is 1% is better that a 5% interest rate when inflation is 4%.
No, we are actually experiencing a low rate of inflation. In 2009 there were 8 months were we actually saw deflation.
It means that they are getting less money for deferring expenditure and saving instead. However, it is not the low nominal interest rates which matter but what the "real" interest rates are. This is the difference between the nominal interest rate and the rate of inflation. An interest rate of 2% when inflation is 0% is good news for savers but an inflation rate even as high as 10% is bad news if inflation is higher than 10%.
