Reading Comprehension Quiz 16 Passage
Inflation rarely affects every household in the same way. A family that spends a large share of its income on food and fuel may feel rising prices more sharply than a household whose budget is concentrated on items with stable prices. This is why an average inflation rate can hide very different experiences across income groups. Persistent inflation also changes behaviour: families postpone purchases, businesses reconsider investment, and savers pay closer attention to whether returns keep pace with rising prices. Policymakers therefore watch not only the headline rate but also the categories driving it and the expectations that may influence future wage and price decisions.
