TYPES OF INFLATION

1. Demand-pull inflation exists when aggregate demand for a good or

service outstrips aggregate supply. It starts with an increase in consumer
demand. Sellers meet such an increase with more supply.

2. Cost pull inflation.  cost-push inflation, is rarer. It starts with a decrease

in total supply or an increase in the cost of that supply. Suppliers raise prices
because they know consumers will pay it.

3. open inflation: A situation in which the prices of consumer goods rise consistently.
An example of open inflation is a situation in which food and gas prices rise, but home prices,
car prices, and art prices remain flat or drop. 

4. Repressed inflation: A situation in which price and wage increases are

restrained by official controls. This can lead to an increase in inflation when the controls are
relaxed, unless policies to remove the excess demand are adopted

5. Hyper inflation: Hyperinflation is when the prices of goods and services

rise more than 50% per month.1

At that rate, a loaf of bread could cost one amount in the morning and a higher
one in the afternoon. 

6. Moderate inflation: moderate inflation, the prices of goods and services

increase but at moderate rate. ... Moderate inflation is a type of inflation that can be
anticipated; therefore, individuals hold money as a store of value
