What is inflation?

Inflation is the gradual increase in prices of goods and services over time. As inflation rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Over the long term, inflation averages 2-3% in developed economies but can be much higher in emerging markets. Understanding inflation is critical for financial planning — if your investments don't outpace inflation, you're actually losing purchasing power.

Example: At 3% annual inflation, £10,000 today will have the purchasing power of only £7,441 in 10 years. You'd need £13,439 in 10 years to buy what £10,000 buys today.
