disinflation
This term is frequently confused with deflation, but they describe opposite economic phenomena. While deflation is a general decline in price levels (negative inflation), disinflation is merely a slowdown in the rate of price increases. In a disinflationary environment, the cost of living still rises, but the speed of that increase decelerates.
Used primarily in formal economic discourse, policy papers, and financial journalism, the word carries a neutral to positive connotation for central banks seeking price stability. It describes a specific phase of monetary tightening where the goal is to cool an overheating economy without triggering a full-scale recession or a deflationary spiral.
