Disinflation A decrease in the rate of inflation. Disinflation A situation in which the inflation rate decreases, but does not reverse. For example, disinflation occurs when the inflation rate goes from 5% to 2%. Importantly, it is not deflation when the inflation rate becomes negative. Disinflation is considered a normal and healthy part of a business cycle.
Disinflation. Disinflation is a slowdown in the rate of price increases that historically occurs during a recession, when the supply of goods is greater than the demand for them. Unlike deflation, however, when prices for goods actually drop, disinflation prices do not usually fall, but the rate of inflation becomes negligible. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
