inflation control
Curbing rising prices
Inflation control refers to policies and measures aimed at limiting how quickly prices rise across an economy.
Central banks typically use interest rate adjustments as their primary tool: The Federal Reserve raised rates as part of its inflation control strategy.
Governments may also impose wage and price controls, reduce spending, or adjust tax policy.
The goal is price stability without triggering recession.
