Galloping inflation

Japanese: ギャロッピング・インフレーション(英語表記)galloping inflation
Galloping inflation
Galloping inflation occurs when a high annual rate of price increase of several tens of percent continues. Well-known examples include South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, which have experienced inflation rates of 20% to several hundred percent every year since World War II. These countries have been running huge fiscal deficits every year, which, combined with a high currency appreciation rate, is thought to be the cause of the high inflation rate. When such a high rate of price increase continues for a long period of time, wages tend to be determined directly based on the cost of living index.

Japanese:
年率数十%という高い物価上昇率が続くとギャロッピング(駆足の)・インフレーションという。第2次大戦後ずっと毎年20%から数百%ものインフレ率を経験しつづけている,アルゼンチン,ブラジル,チリ,コロンビア等の南米諸国の例がよく知られている。こうした諸国では巨額な財政赤字を毎年出しつづけており,それが高い通貨の増加率と相まって高いインフレ率の原因となっているとみられる。このような高い物価上昇率が長期間続くと,賃金は生計費指数に直結して決められる傾向が強くなる。
