Inflation is described as the rise in the prices of goods and commodities that can cause the purchasing power of a nation and its people to decline. Inflation is a normal development in an economy, one that can be controlled as long as the annual percentage remains low against a pre-determined level. When the percentage remains high, an economic inflation crisis can be triggered as the currency can only buy fewer goods and services.
