Control of inflation
Because inflation negatively impacts the purchasing power, employees won’t have incentives
and will not afford to buy more. This affects mainly employees with fixed and small wages,
thus they will not be productive. As the demand of goods and services declines due to the
rise in prices, the market suffers as the supply is greater than the demand.
From the opposite perspective, companies are favoured in regards to unemployment and
exports. Because the increase in price rises also the production costs, this translates into less
output so fewer workers needed. Also, exporting companies are benefiting as inflation
incentivise exporting activities.
