Project report on inflation

Inflation could stifle economic progress for a variety of reasons.

• 
  ·  Inflation causes relative price distortions in economies that have not fully adjusted to a certain rate of inflation. Real interest rates become negative and volatile when nominal interest rates are controlled, discouraging savings. Exchange rate depreciation lags behind inflation, resulting in real appreciation and exchange rate volatility.
  

• 
  · Because tax collections are based on nominal incomes from a previous year and public utility costs are not increasing in step with inflation, real tax collections do not keep pace with inflation. Inflation exacerbates the fiscal problem for both reasons, and public savings may be reduced. This could have a negative impact on public investment.
  
• 
  · Inflationary pressures are unsettling. Inflation rates are unclear in the future, which diminishes investment efficiency and discourages potential investors.
  

Measures of Inflation:-

In actuality, the many indicators used to calculate inflation rates varied from country to country and from economic institutions to economic institutions. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is one of the most often used indices; it is computed as P1-P0/P0 x 100, which represents the annual percentage rate of inflation in the CPI throughout time. Another statistic for evaluating inflation is the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) or Producer Price Index (PPI). The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the pressure that raw material costs place on producers. This could be "passed on" to customers, absorbed by profits, or compensated for by increased productivity. PPI differs from CPI in that it includes price subsidies, earnings, and taxes that are received by producers. Another inflation indicator is the Core Price Index.
The above-mentioned inflation indicators leave out asset prices, which have an impact on the overall price level. Some central bankers have proposed that stabilizing a broader general price level inflation gauge, which includes food and energy prices, would be preferable. Instead of focusing just on CPI or core inflation, some asset prices are being stabilized. Inflationary Asset Prices considers an unjustified rise in the price of real or financial assets, such as Stocks (equity) and real estate are two types of investments. The reason for this is that when interest rates are raised, stock prices rise. When commodity prices or real estate prices rise, central banks raise interest rates, and when similar asset prices fall, they lower interest rates. Banks may be more successful in averting asset price bubbles and disasters.
