• Creeping or mild inflation is when prices rise 3% a year or less. According to the Federal
Reserve, when prices increase 2% or less, it benefits economic growth. This kind of
mild inflation makes consumers expect that prices will keep going up. That boosts demand.
• Walking inflation (2-10%) When inflation is in single digits – less than 10%. At this rate –
inflation is not a major problem, but when it rises over 4%, Central Banks will be increasingly
concerned. Walking inflation may simply be referred to as moderate inflation.
• Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases
in an economy. While inflation is a measure of the pace of rising prices for goods and
services, hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, typically measuring more than 50% per month.
• Refers to a type of inflation that occurs when the prices of goods and services increase at two-
digit or three-digit rate per annum. Galloping inflation is also known as jumping inflation. In the
