Answer:
The technique to control inflation are as follows:
Monetary policy – Higher interest rates reduce demand in the economy, leading to lower economic growth and lower inflation.
Control of money supply – Monetarists argue there is a close link between the money supply and inflation, therefore controlling money supply can control inflation.
Supply-side policies – policies to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the economy, putting downward pressure on long-term costs.
