    The world economies slow down probably.

    At negative inflation there is no incentive to spend your money because is becomes increasingly valuable the longer you hold it. With high inflation, there’s incentive to spend because the longer you keep your money in the mattress the less it’s worth to you.

    At zero it just is, but that’s less than the usual goal of a couple percent of inflation year over year.

    Or maybe I’m full of shit idk.
