Deflation vs Inflation;Deflation Is Very Damaging [Para 1] In the MPC’s last monthly inflation report they forecast that inflation could fall to 1%. They even hinted at the possibility of deflation. What is deflation and why does it strike fear into economists and policy makers? ;[Para 2] Deflation is simply a fall in the general price level. If this deflation is a result of improved productivity and greater efficiency, it could be benign. But, usually deflation is caused by falling demand and lower growth.
