LOGODeflation
In the words of Prof. Crowther; “Deflation is that state of the economy where the value of money is rising or prices are falling.”
If the general level of prices falls and as a result thereof, the value of money increases, it is called deflation in economics.
Deflation is just the opposite of inflation.
