The prospect of falling prices reflects the collapse of industrial production, the resulting high level of unemployment, and the dramatic decline in commodity prices. 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.
价格下降的前景反映出工业生产的崩溃，随之而来的高失业率，以及商品价格的急剧下降。在负通胀的国家，工业生产正以两位数的速度下降，所有商品的价格指数同比都下降了超过30%。
