Money word, in plain English ← Back to all terms
Inflation
The speed at which everyday prices rise over time.
Example. A snack that cost ₹10 last year now costs ₹11.
Inflation is how fast prices go up. A little inflation is normal, but it quietly eats the value of cash sitting idle, which is why money you do not need soon should be somewhere it can grow.
