Inflation in 2017 had an unprecedented low growth rate. The main reasons for the slowdown in inflation are the decline in consumer and investment demand. The purpose of the article is to understand the mechanism of influence of various factors on inflation in 2017. The decline in inflation is explained by the tightening of monetary policy. Structural and technological changes that lead to a significant reduction in the cost of new goods and services are also the basis of price reduction. The rapid decline in inflation is due to the fall in real incomes and the effective demand of the population.
