Inflation happens when prices for goods and services rise over time, meaning your money doesn't buy as much as it used to. As the quote notes, two of the main drivers behind inflation are:
Low Interest Rates: When the central bank (like the Federal Reserve in the U.S.) keeps interest rates low, it becomes cheaper for people and businesses to borrow money. This encourages more spending and borrowing, which increases overall demand. When demand for goods and services outpaces the economy's ability to supply them, prices go up.
Rapid Money Supply Growth: If too much money is printed or pumped into the economy quickly, that money can lose its individual value. With more cash circulating, people are willing to pay more for the same items, causing businesses to raise their prices.
Other factors can also trigger or worsen inflation, such as supply chain disruptions (when it becomes harder or more expensive to manufacture or transport goods) and rising production costs (like sudden spikes in the price of oil or raw materials).
