disinflationary
Inflation rate declining
Disinflationary describes a slowdown in the rate of inflation—prices still rising, but more slowly than before.
Distinguished from deflationary, where prices actually fall.
Central banks often aim for disinflationary policies to cool an overheating economy without triggering recession: The Fed's rate hikes had a disinflationary effect on consumer prices.
