Toui: Sabaidee Caty!
Caty: Sabaidee Toui!
Toui: Is inflation affecting you?
Caty: How could it not? I feel like I’m spending a ton of money for groceries, especially.
Toui: I know. 1 mango is almost 2 dollars at a market near my place.
Caty: Wow! What about food? Do you like to eat out or cook at home?
Toui: I cook almost every day. I’d be broke fast if I depended on restaurants for my meals!
Caty: Me too. I hope prices come down soon!
Toui: I’ve got a video we can watch for some expert opinion on the subject.
Caty: Of course you do!

At the International Monetary Fund in Washington, researcher Daniel Leigh says there is cautious optimism about global inflation levels somewhat easing this year.
In capitalist economies, when demand goes up, prices also rise. But some analysts see an unusual form of inflation even as, in their assessment, demand holds fairly stable.
Cooling consumer demand can force companies to abandon price hikes and rein in inflation – a key goal of the U.S. central bank, which recently boosted interest rates for the tenth time in just over a year.
Toui: Well, sounds like there is hope that inflation will ease. What does capitalist mean?
Caty: That word describes an economic system in which resources and means of production are privately owned and prices, production, and the distribution of goods are based mainly by competition in a free market.
Toui: What is monetary?
Caty: Monetary is also an adjective. It means of, or related to, money.
Toui: And how about the term rein in?
Caty: That means to gain control of something and restrain its activity.
Toui: That’s all for today. Thank you Caty!
Caty: You’re welcome!
