Deflation Risk

What is Deflation Risk?

Deflation Risk is the potential threat that prices of goods and services will decline over time, leading to reduced consumer spending, lower profits, and overall economic slowdown. While lower prices may seem beneficial to consumers, prolonged deflation can negatively impact business revenues, wages, and investment—creating a downward economic spiral.

Causes of Deflation Risk

  • Falling demand for goods and services

  • Increased productivity or technological advancements

  • Tight monetary policy or reduced money supply

  • High levels of debt or deleveraging

Impacts of Deflation Risk

  • Decreased corporate earnings

  • Delayed consumer purchases (waiting for lower prices)

  • Higher real debt burdens

  • Job cuts and wage reductions

  • Investment stagnation
