DEFLATION A persistent decrease in the average price level in the economy. This is the direct opposite of inflation, a persistent increase in the average price level. Like inflation, deflation occurs when the AVERAGE price level decreases over time.

Another related phenomenon is disinflation, a decrease in the inflation rate.
