[object Object],[object Object],Now letโ€™s understand disinflationโ€ฆ
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],But what are the effects of  deflation on the economy?
Lack of demand leads to an increase in the idle capacity bringing down the rate of investments leading to unemployment and lower disposable income and hence a further fall in demand and increase in loan defaults. This is known as the  Deflationary Spiral .
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],So what can one do about it?
[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],How does one  counteract against  deflation?
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What did Keynes say?
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What about India? Are we heading towards deflation?
And remember in India when we refer to deflation we are talking about WPI โ€“ Wholesale Price Index and not CPI โ€“ Consumer price index which is used as a reference in most economies Remember the CPI is still at 10%!
Again one needs to bear in mind that our GDP growth engine is still humming along at nearly 6.5%.  For deflation to set it, the GDP growth rate needs to substantially fall as is seen in many western companies.
