Inflation refers to the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, purchasing power is falling. It is a critical economic indicator because sustained high inflation can erode savings, reduce consumer spending, and impact investment decisions, significantly affecting economic stability and individual financial well-being.
