Inflation is the increase in prices of goods and services in the economy
When inflation increases more money is needed to purchase the same goods and services resulting in a decrease in growth
Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation by measuring the change in the price of a "market basket" of goods
Producer Price Index (PPI) also measures inflation through change in production prices of goods and services
High inflation prints central banks to increase interest rates
