Abstract

Stagflation Is a term used to describe a period of no growth but with high inflation(1). This normally happens when an external shock sends prices higher , such as the oil price crises of the 1970s. Interest rates are then generally raised in reaction which lead to a slowdown in demand. Consumption and investment inevitably drop and a period of weak growth follows until inflation is brought back under control. But because that shock is external and not a result of market forces, the whole episode often lasts longer than it should, causing serious damage to he world economy. Stagnant growth and inflation=stagflation.
