disinflation
Inflation losing momentum
Disinflation is a slowing in the rate of inflation—prices still rising, but less rapidly than before.
Distinguished from deflation, where prices actually fall.
Central banks often aim for disinflation when inflation runs too hot: The Fed's rate hikes finally produced disinflation.
The term appears almost exclusively in economic contexts.
