Premium Inflation
Inflation affects the real economy in two specific areas: it can harm economic efficiency‚ and it can affect total output. We begin with the efficiency impacts:- Inflation impairs economic efficiency because it distorts prices and price signals. In a low inflation economy‚ if the market price of a good rises‚ both buyers and sellers know that there has been an actual change in supply and/or demand conditions for that good‚ and they can react appropriately.

We have to take into account that the process may be high this month but generally fall the following month
