a period of high inflation and slow economic growth
Funnily enough, it's called stagflation...
Both inflation and recession are occurring. A special term was coined for that. It is stagflation.
The term, stagflation, means a condition where unemployment is high, and thus, economic growth is slow. Inflation increases at a greater rate than the economy, usually making it difficult for people to keep up with rising prices.
Recession
This is called inflation or more precisely "price inflation".
Stagflation was an economic condition in which unemployment was high, the economy was stagnant, but prices were rising (inflation).
In stagflation, you have high inflation, high unemployment, and low demand.
