Inlation, Disinflation & Industrial Production
Disinflationary trend in developed economies, started about 2011, continues. As latest World Bank's Data
shows, inflation in developed world in December was at lowest levels
since 2008-2009 financial crisis and its clearly going to enter the deflation
zone soon. But industrial production, in general, keeps growing, though
at a slower pace. In some countries the picture is quite different. E.
g., stagflation environment (industrial production contraction
accompanied by high inflation rate) can be noticed in India, Indonesia,
Brazil & Russia last months. Also, Japan somewhat stagflationary.
Recent developments of situation in Ukraine looks like catastrophe
(double-digits contraction in industrial production).
