名詞
スタグフレーション
a portmanteau word in economics referring to a situation where the inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains steadily high. It presents a dilemma for economic policy, since actions taken to lower inflation (like raising interest rates) may worsen unemployment, and vice versa.
