Inflation in 1652 and Its Effect on Dollar Value
Purchasing power increased by 21.05% in 1652 compared to the previous year, 1651. On average, you would have to spend 21.05% less money in 1652 than in 1651 for the same item. This is an example of deflation.
In other words, $100 in 1651 is equivalent in purchasing power to $78.95 in 1652.
The 1651 inflation rate was 33.33%. The inflation rate in 1652 was -21.05%. The 1652 inflation rate is lower compared to the average inflation rate of 1.03% per year between 1652 and 2018.
Inflation rate is calculated by change in the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI in 1652 was 6. It was 7.6 in the previous year, 1651. The difference in CPI between the years is used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to officially determine inflation. Because the 1652 CPI is less than 1651 CPI, negative inflation (also known as deflation) has occurred.
