Pricing Power

In economics, pricing power is defined as the ability of a company to raise the value of its products, without affecting its market demand and besides without lowering the production rate and the quality of the products it manufactures. According to Alogoskoufis (2018),  pricing power in a country may lead to inflation, which occurs where there is a constant increase in the value of goods and services over a long period of time. Notably, inflation has a negative influence on the ability of people in a country to purchase more goods, leading to a decrease in the purchasing power since they are in need of quality and affordable goods which their prices have become exaggerated due to inflation.
