1. Disinflation

   Disinflation is a decrease in the rate of inflation – a slowdown in the rate of increase of the general price level of goods and services in a nation's gross domestic product over time. It is the opposite of reflation. If the inflation rate is not very high to start with, disinflation can lead to deflation – decreases in the general price level of goods and services. For example if the annual inflation rate one month is 5% and it is 4% the following month, prices disinflated by 1% but are still increasing at a 4% annual rate. If the current rate is 1% and it is the -2% the following month, prices disinflated by 3% and are decreasing at a 2% annual rate.

1. disinflation

   Disinflation is the process or a phenomenon in an economy where there is a decrease in the rate of inflation, meaning the prices of goods and services are still increasing, but at a slower pace than before. It indicates a period of slowing inflation, which could be a result of various measures such as monetary policy changes by the central bank. It is not to be confused with deflation, which refers to a decrease in the general price level.

1. Disinflation

   Disinflation is a decrease in the rate of inflation – a slowdown in the rate of increase of the general price level of goods and services in a nation's gross domestic product over time. It is the opposite of reflation. Disinflation occurs when the increase in the “consumer price level” slows down from the previous period when the prices were rising. Disinflation is the reduction in the general price level in the economy but for a short period of time. Disinflation takes place only when an economy is suffering from recession. If the inflation rate is not very high to start with, disinflation can lead to deflation – decreases in the general price level of goods and services. For example if the annual inflation rate for the month of January is 5% and it is 4% in the month of February, the prices disinflated by 1% but are still increasing at a 4% annual rate. Again if the current rate is 1% and it is -2% for the following month, prices disinflated by 3% i.e. [1%-%] and are decreasing at a 2% annual rate.

Examples of disinflation in a Sentence

1. Philip Shaw:

   The data probably increases the case for more stimulus in certain parts of the world, especially from the People's Bank of China and the European Central Bank, those economies that are at less advanced paths of the recovery cycle -- the key example is the euro zone, where we're looking at more disinflation -- may well find more stimulus is in order.

   We are in this slow-growth world, The U.S. looks solid relative to everyone else, but the global construct is slowing. That serves as a cap for growth here in the U.S. and inflation is the same story. If anything, the bias is for disinflation and deflation instead of inflation.
