The paper analyzes the main causes and types of inflation, its economic and social consequences, and the anti-inflationary policy measures adopted by governments and central banks around the world. Special attention is given to the inflation trends in Uzbekistan and the measures undertaken by the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study concludes that effective inflation management requires a comprehensive approach combining monetary, fiscal, and structural policies.
