Simplified Text: How Central Banks Control Prices

Adapted to CEFR B1

Preserved Keywords: inflation, interest rates, central bank, economy

When prices for food and energy increase rapidly, we call this inflation. If inflation becomes too high, everyday items become expensive for families.

To solve this problem, central banks raise their interest rates. When interest rates go up, borrowing money costs more. As a result, businesses spend less, which cools down the economy and brings prices back to normal.
