The Demand-pull inflation exists when :

  • A.Costs are increasing faster than output
  • B.The level of aggregate demand grows faster than the supply
  • C.The prices of imports are rising than the domestic goods
  • D.There is an increase in the oil prices

Answer: B

Demand-pull inflation exists when the level of aggregate demand grows faster than the supply.

Demand-pull inflation is 'too much money chasing too few goods'. When spending by households, firms and government rises faster than the economy's capacity to produce, especially near full employment, the excess demand pulls up the general price level.

Costs rising faster than output, dearer imports and higher oil prices all describe cost-push inflation, where higher costs of production push prices up from the supply side.
