inflacionista

inflationary

adjective een-flah-syoh-NEES-tah Rare

Usage Note

Inflacionista describes policies, pressures, or trends that tend to cause or worsen inflation. It is invariable in gender (el riesgo inflacionista, la política inflacionista), since it ends in -ista. Learners should distinguish it from inflacionario, a Latin-American-preferred synonym meaning the same thing — both are correct, but inflacionista is dominant in Spain.

Examples

"Las medidas inflacionistas preocupan a los inversores."

Natural Translation

Inflationary measures worry investors.
