Inflation Risk

What is Inflation Risk?

Inflation Risk, also known as purchasing power risk, refers to the potential loss in the value of money over time due to rising prices. This type of risk affects both consumers and businesses by eroding the real value of income, investments, and operating margins.


Examples of Inflation Risk

  • Increasing costs of raw materials and labor

  • Declining profit margins due to fixed-price contracts

  • Reduced consumer purchasing power

  • Volatile interest rates and borrowing costs

  • Investment returns are not keeping pace with inflation


Impacts of Inflation Risk

  • Financial forecasting inaccuracies

  • Strain on operating budgets

  • Lower real returns on savings and investments

  • Challenges in long-term planning and pricing strategies
