Inflation and Stagflation

Question 5 • * HSA 26-27 Economics

Which is an effect of stagflation?

Answer
A
Trade with other economies increases.
B
The value of a country’s currency drops.
C
Prices for goods fall sharply and suddenly.
D
The GDP rises along with production levels.

Explanation

Stagflation combines rising prices with weak economic growth and often high unemployment. Persistent inflation can reduce a currency’s purchasing power and contribute to a drop in its value, so “the value of a country’s currency drops” is the best answer. Falling prices and rising GDP with production are not characteristic effects of stagflation.
