Industrial production is falling at double digit rates in the negative inflation countries, and the price index for all commodities is down more than 30 over the past year.

In terms of price performance, that's a 40 to 50 percent deflation rate.

The Panel notes that, although loss in quality could reduce the prices of crops, crop prices can fluctuate for a variety of other reasons related to the economics of supply and demand.

Heroin prices declined fairly steadily, however in 1994 they were around 40 per cent of the 1983 price in real terms and purity levels were reported to be increasing.

In short, the downturn in house prices will not be limited to the US. And, on both sides of the Atlantic, that decline is likely to undermine consumer spending.

This has meant either a decline in asset prices quoted in dollars or in dollars quoted in other currencies. Indeed, adjusted for inflation, the dollar is now nearly as low against the euro as it was against the deutschmark in 1992, when German unification resulted in the breakdown of the European currency system.

For each crop, Iran calculates the compensation sought for the decreased quality by multiplying the difference between the local and national prices by the quantity produced in 1991.

In current dollar terms, the combined index of non oil primary commodities registered an increase of a mere 2.2 per cent annually, which corresponded to a yearly decline of 0.5 per cent in real terms.

Moreover, it intensifies competition, resulting in better product quality and lower prices.

Also, growth could be brought to an abrupt halt by falling world commodity prices.

Iran estimates the alleged reduction in crop quality by comparing crop prices in the Southern Provinces in 1991 with national crop prices.

The export earnings from agricultural commodities and raw materials for least developed countries are falling as prices decline.

Excessive debt burdens continued to be a great hindrance to the growth potential of many such countries, especially in the light of escalating oil prices and declining commodity prices.

444. The growth rate in Greenland fell dramatically in the period from 1987 up to and including 1990, calculated as GDP per capita at fixed prices.

261. The price reform (freeing electricity consumption prices and solid and liquid fuel prices) resulted in a drop in electric power consumption, as well as in emissions of sulphuric acid, solid particles and other pollutants of power generation.

The rate of so called core inflation (which excludes energy purchases) was 1.8 . Even that understates the impact of energy on measured inflation, because lower gasoline prices reduce shipping costs, lowering a wide range of prices.

We know that as the cost of this commodity rise, so the growth rate of the global economy decreases.
