Inflation.
Inflation is widespread and sustained increase in the prices of goods and services in a
country. To measure the growth of inflation indices , which reflect the percentage
growth of a weighted basket of goods used . The index measuring infation is the
Consumer Price Index (CPI ) in Mexico is called INPC ( National Consumer Price
Index) . This index measures the percentage increase in the prices of a basket of
goods and services purchased by a typical consumer in the country.
There are other indices such as the Producer Price Index , which measures price
growth of raw materials .
Causes of Inflation
Three types of inflation :
Inflation for consumption or demand. This inflation is due to the law of supply and
demand. If the demand for goods exceeds the capacity of production or importation of
goods, prices tend to increase .
Inflation on costs. This inflation occurs when the price of raw materials ( copper, oil ,
energy, etc. ) increases, which makes the producer , seeking to maintain their profit
margin , increase their prices.
Inflation self-constructed . This inflation occurs when a strong future price increase is
expected , and then begin to adjust to them before the increase is gradual.
Inflation expectations generated by inflation ( vicious circle) . This is typical in highinflation countries where workers are demanding salary increases to counteract the
effects of inflation , which gives rise to the increase in prices by employers , leading to
a vicious circle of inflation.
