Inflation represents the rate at which the general price level of goods and services rises and thus the purchasing power of money falls.

It reduces the purchasing power of the national currency and brings with it negative effects. 

It is the willingness and ability to buy a certain good or service at various prices at a certain time and under the assumption of ceteris-paribus (other factors affecting demand are constant). 

• Price elasticity of demand,
• Cross elasticity of demand,
• Income elasticity of demand,
• Advertising elasticity of demand.

Changes in the price of other goods affect demand. Changes in the prices of complementary and competing goods directly affect demand. 

We can define the demand as the consumer's desire to obtain a certain amount of money voluntarily and within their means in return for a certain financial price. In this case, it is necessary to add at least 2 more factors to the factors affecting the demand. Willingness to buy expresses 'want', the basis on which economists base tastes and preferences. If you don't need or want something, you don't buy it. The ability to buy also reveals the importance of income. On the other hand, related goods also affect demand. 

A supply curve shows how the quantity supplied will change as the price rises and falls; here the assumption of ceteris paribus applies, that is, other economically relevant factors remain unchanged. If other factors related to supply change, then the entire supply curve will shift. A shift in supply means that there will be a change in the quantity supplied at each price level.

Other factors that change the supply are like this;

• Natural conditions,
• New technology,
• Government policies.
