stagflation

GBK English to Italian Bus/Financial Economics
Definition from enotes.com:
The term stagflation is sometimes used to describe a situation in which there is slow to zero growth in real output, high inflation exists, and unemployment is higher than normal. This situation usually begins with rising prices at times when production is declining. Because of declining production, unemployment also increases. All three of these factors combined cause stagflation—stagnation in production and employment together with increasing inflation.
Example sentences:
If monetary authorities respond appropriately to growing inflationary pressure - recognising that much of it is imported, and not a result of excess domestic demand - we may be able to manage our way through it. But if they raise interest rates relentlessly to meet inflation targets, we should prepare for the worst: another episode of stagflation. (guardian.co.uk)
Once stagflation occurs it is difficult to deal with. The measures a government would usually take to revive an economy in recession (cutting interest rates or increasing government spending) will also increase inflation. (moneyterms.co.uk)
Folks of a certain age might remember the stagflation which dominated the US economy in the 1970s. It was a gloomy time when energy prices (and gasoline lines) dominated the news; when whole industries slumped at the same time, and when job losses and price hikes seemed to travel in tandem.

stagflazione

Definition from Il Sole 24 Ore:
termine stagflazione nasce negli anni 70, dopo il primo shock petrolifero del 1973-74. Esso indica la contemporanea presenza di un'attività produttiva che non cresce (stagnazione) e di un persistente aumento dei prezzi (inflazione).
Example sentences:
In quel che segue si argomenta che la stagflazione del 2008 è qualcosa di diverso e che le risposte della politica economica devono esser diverse anch'esse. Ma vediamo dapprima che cosa dicono i colti e gli incliti fra gli economisti. (Il Sole 24 Ore)

stagflazione

Hello everybody,

tutte le fonti danno stagflazione per stagflation, il livello di certezza è alto in quanto l'ho trovato anche recentemente in alcuni articoli, sia nella stampa britannica che italiana, largomento è tristemente attuale...

good luck

Definition from wikipedia:
Stagflation is an economic situation in which inflation and economic stagnation occur simultaneously and remain unchecked for a period of time.[1] The portmanteau stagflation is generally attributed to British politician Iain Macleod, who coined the term in a speech to Parliament in 1965.[2][3][4] The concept is notable partly because, in postwar macroeconomic theory, inflation and recession were regarded as mutually exclusive, and also because stagflation has generally proven to be difficult and costly to eradicate once it gets started.
Example sentences:
Brutta parola, la stagflazione. Brutta dal punto di vista lessicologico. Brutta a pronunciare, un orribile neologismo sorto dal combinato disposto di due mali, la stagnazione e l'inflazione. Ma "eppur si muove", esiste e ce la dobbiamo tenere. È risorta oggi, quando l'impazzimento del prezzo del petrolio configura ormai un "terzo shock petrolifero", dopo quelli deleteri del 1973-75 e del 1979-80. (il sole24ore)
Dunque, abbiamo inflazione dei prezzi e rischio recessione. Combinati insieme, questi due fenomeni generano la così detta stagflazione, probabilmente la peggiore situazione esistente in campo economico. (EF educazione finanziaria)
What Does Stagflation Mean? A condition of slow economic growth and relatively high unemployment - a time of stagnation - accompanied by a rise in prices, or inflation (investopedia)
