      Inflation-Conscious Investments - 50minutes

      Problem: what do overall and long-term price increases mean and how can you figure out the total amount that they represent? What specific consequences does inflation have on the purchasing power and decision-making capacities of households and businesses? How can you take this limiting variable into account when investing?

      Uses: national and international statistical institutes calculate inflation rates in order to determine the rates of overall and specific price increases within a certain period. Given that price and salary increases do not remain proportional during periods of inflation, it may be necessary to monitor their fluctuations in order to:

      limit their negative effects and try to balance the relationships between the major macroeconomic indicators of inflation, unemployment and GDP;

      estimate the real gains that could be generated by current investments over the short, medium (10-20 years) and long term (50 years or more);

      relativise a country’s economic development by differentiating the growth due to price increases from the growth due to an increase in production volume.

      Key words:

      Constant price: corresponding price during the reference year.

      Consumer basket: the consumer basket is one method of measuring inflation and the cost of living. It is made up of a set of consumer products which are used
