• DISINFLATION
  
  Disinflation is a slowdown in the rate of price increases that historically occurs during a recession, when the supply of goods is greater than the demand for them. Unlike deflation, however, when prices for goods actually drop, with disinflation prices do not usually fall, but the rate of inflation becomes negligible.
