Top 20 countries with the lowest inflation rates in the world by 2022

Inflation is the general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy. Inflation is generally a broad measure, such as an overall increase in prices or an increase in the cost of living in a country. A volatile metric, inflation that can rise and fall rapidly depending on economic conditions and the measures the government chooses to control or counteract them. Inflation is linked to the economic principles of supply and demand and can be viewed either positively or negatively depending on the specific situation and rate of change.

For example, a small amount of inflation is usually seen as a sign that a country’s economy is growing and that its residents have sufficient income, both good things. However, excess inflation occurs when prices rise much faster than wages, reducing the value of the currency. The value of a unit of currency decreases as compared to before and the purchasing power of the country’s currency decreases. Conversely, very low inflation can also be a troubling sign that a country’s economy is stagnant and that not enough people have enough work.

There are three inflation indices: the consumer price index (CPI), the wholesale price index (WPI), and the producer price index (PPI). The CPI is a measure that examines the weighted average prices of primary needs – such as transportation, food and medical care – at the consumer/retail level. WPI measures and tracks price changes at the producer or wholesale level before the goods reach the consumer. PPIs are a family of metrics that measure price changes from the perspective of a seller/manufacturer rather than a buyer/consumer.

Inflation is classified into three types: demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and implicit inflation. All three are related to the balance between the money supply and the supply of goods in a country’s economy.

  • Demand inflation – occurs when the demand for goods and services – in other words, the total amount of money people need to spend and/or credit – grows faster than the economy’s production capacity. Demand is high but supply cannot keep up, so prices rise. Rising prices force some buyers out of the market, reducing demand and restoring the balance between demand and supply.
  • Price rise inflation occurs as a result of an increase in the cost of production. For example, if raw materials are used to increase the price of the product, the price of the final commodity increases as producers pass their costs on to the consumer.
  • Intrinsic inflation – is caused by expectations that inflation will continue, so wages must rise to maintain the status quo. As the prices of goods and services rise, labor expects to pay more to maintain its standard of living. As a result of an increase in labor costs, consumer prices for goods or services produced or provided by labor also increase.

Countries with the lowest inflation rates in the world often have negative inflation rates, which is referred to as deflation. Sudden deflation increases the value of a country’s money, allowing more goods and services to be bought in the same currency. Deflation usually results from the opposite scenario as inflation.

In other words, deflation occurs when the supply of goods and services exceeds the money supply available in the economy, resulting in a decrease in prices. Deflation can also occur when a decrease in the supply of money and/or a decrease in the supply of credit (both of which increase the value of the current currency) increases the purchase of electricity.
