Deflation

Deflation is the opposite of inflation which depletes the purchasing power of funds.

Prices Changes due to Deflation. Deflation is the number-one trigger of economy-wide increased purchasing power because as prices of goods and services falls the value of money increases because consumers can buy more with a given amount of money.
