inflazionistici

Inflazionistici is an Italian adjective used in economics to describe phenomena, measures, or policy stances that generate or amplify inflation. In English, it is often translated as inflationary in the sense of relating to inflation or capable of causing it. The term derives from inflazione (inflation) with the suffix -istico, which signals a characteristic or tendency.

The term is commonly applied to refer to inflationary pressures that push the general price level upward, including demand-pull effects, wage dynamics, supply shocks, and built-in inflation from expectations. It is also used to characterize policy choices deemed to raise prices, such as expansionary fiscal or monetary actions, exchange-rate changes, or subsidies that affect relative prices.

Debates about inflazionistici effects often focus on the trade-off between growth and price stability, the role of central bank independence, and the appropriate mix of monetary and fiscal instruments to contain or channel inflationary dynamics. The term is frequently used in analyses that seek to distinguish inflationary outcomes from other macroeconomic phenomena, such as real growth or productivity changes.

Because inflazionistici is a descriptive adjective, it is commonly paired with nouns such as misure inflazionistiche (inflationary measures) or pressioni inflazionistiche (inflationary pressures) in Italian texts. See also inflation, inflationary policy, price level, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and macroeconomics.
