Everyone hates inflation, I think. I could not think of any reason why people love inflation except those who are hoping for prices to rise to gain benefits from it. Maybe this includes people who hoard goods just so that they could sell it at a higher price the next week for example. When inflation is high… then the central bank may step in to control inflation. This is usually done via an increase in rates. However, if inflation is high and the economy is slowing, then the central bank would have to decide which is more critical. Growth in economy or growth in prices.
