Comparative Study on Inflation Trends – India, Japan, and Singapore 

As part of my Managerial Economics project, I conducted a comparative analysis of inflation trends across India, Japan, and Singapore over a five-year period. The objective of the study was to understand how inflation behaves in different economic environments — emerging, developed, and high-income economies — and to identify the macroeconomic factors influencing price stability in each country.

The analysis involved studying key indicators such as Consumer Price Index (CPI), interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, and monetary policy interventions. In India, inflation showed moderate volatility driven by fuel prices, food supply shocks, and demand-side pressures. Japan exhibited a deflationary or near-zero inflation trend, consistent with its long-term struggle against stagnant consumer demand and an aging population. In contrast, Singapore maintained low and stable inflation, attributed to its strong fiscal discipline, open trade policy, and efficient monetary regulation by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Through this project, I applied managerial economics tools such as trend analysis, correlation between inflation and GDP growth, and policy impact evaluation. The study enhanced my understanding of how inflation affects managerial decisions, purchasing power, and investment strategies across diverse economies.
