[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1111974, member: 74895"] I'm no economist and don't know what timeframes are used to measure inflation but I assumed that any deflation of say -11.4% would be calculated using the recent peak of inflation (11.4%) as the starting point as opposed to the same starting point used when +11.4% was arrived at. I assumed that falling inflation meant that prices were actually falling from their peak (and heading back to 'normal' levels) as opposed to them still increasing but by less. I read that brent crude oil (one of the main inflation drivers) has fallen in the last three months and is almost the same price as it was a year ago. Like I said, I'm no economist and was just curious to understand how inflation/deflation is measured and over what timeframe. [/QUOTE]
