Demand inflation occurs when overall price levels rise due to excess spending and demand pressures. This situation often arises when demand exceeds available production capacity in the short term, leading to increased prices. Key factors contributing to demand inflation include heightened disposable income, increased consumer and business confidence, overseas economic growth, and elevated government spending. As the economy operates at its maximum production capability, rising demand can create substantial price pressures, making it difficult for suppliers to keep pace with needs.
