Shrinkflation, Fiscal Deficits and Current Account Deficits: The current state of domestic Economy in India
- As an energy importer, depreciation of rupee leads to wider CAD as imports become costlier.
- Shrinkflation is the practice of reducing the size of a product while the price of the product remains the same.
- For example, recently ‘Parle G’ Biscuits size (quantity) was reduced slightly retaining the same price of Rs. 5. So, one gets less amount (shrink) at the same price.
- Raising the price per given amount is a strategy employed by companies, mainly in the food and beverage industries, to stealthily boost profit margins or maintain profit margin in the face of rising input costs.
- Inflation has increased in the last few months and so companies cost of production/input cost has also increased, but rather than increasing the prices companies have started reducing pack sizes just to disguise the price rise.
