what does 7.9% inflation mean? Is that the percentage the currency loses during one month?
In: 6
It is on average how much prices for the goods people buy go up in price in a year, so if one year you spend $10,000 on food electricity telephone bills etc. and inflation is at 7.9% you may have to spend $10,790 next year to buy the same amount of goods and services.
