The inflation rate measures the percentage increase in prices of goods and services over a specific period, reflecting the purchasing power of money. A moderate inflation rate typically indicates a growing economy, as it can signal increased consumer demand and spending. However, high inflation can erode purchasing power, reduce savings, and create uncertainty, while deflation may suggest weak demand and economic stagnation. Overall, the inflation rate is a key indicator of economic health and influences monetary policy decisions.
