Inflation can be defined as the persistence rise an prices of goods and service due to the volume of money in circulation.  This is an increase in the money and credit relative to available goods and service resulting in a general price level.  In order to observe that there is inflation there should be a rise in the volume of money credit.  This rise  must exceed the available goods and service an the country.  There should a the  substantial and centurial increase in the gene price level of goods and services.

Inflation will also lead to a balance of payment deficit.  The rise in the prices of home goods will make more consumer goods to be imported thereby making the county to spend more foreign currency that what it will received abroad from exportation.  However since the real value of money fall during inflationary period people prefer to spend it rather than investment.  Also debtors gain while creditors lose because the burden of debt falls and the money loses its purchasing power.
