reflate
Boost deflated economy
Reflate means to stimulate an economy that has been experiencing deflation or recession, typically through government policies that increase the money supply or public spending.
Central banks reflate by lowering interest rates or purchasing assets; governments reflate by boosting expenditure or cutting taxes.
The Fed moved aggressively to reflate the economy after the financial crisis.
The term mirrors its opposite, deflate, suggesting a deliberate effort to restore economic activity and price levels to healthier norms.
