And: Measuring the general level of inflation is at an average price of goods and services to the country and is not necessarily a rise in all prices because even in times of inflation, severe some prices may be relatively constant or others Prices may fall, when we hear that the report of the inflation rate for the month came in (1%), it means only that the price level increased by 1% this month, which may be changed emergency; If it continues the inflation rate high for a long time) more than 1% a month for several years (here indicates that the inflation has become This was the high prices of all goods and services rise by one and at the same time.
