Inflation is the term given to a rise in the general level of prices in the economy over a period of time. If prices are falling the term used is deflation. Most procurement practitioners are familiar with two indices of inflation – the consumer price index [CPI] and the producer price index [PPI]. Inflation has been a key target of economic policy for most governments as high levels of inflation devalue the value of assets and of earnings.
