That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Your first type (treasury) isn't usually called inflation, AFAIK.
That's a metric more widely referred to as 'money supply,' and it has a number of different types even within that (M0, M1, M2, etc), depending on if you're talking about simple cash, bank deposits, and other liquid assets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply#Measures_of_money_supply
Those things are called the "supply of money" and a "price index"...
And yeah, changes on the first one isn't often called "inflation". But if you clearly define what you are talking about, people will understand.
I understand why you are putting them together but I think only the CPI measures inflation, there are other indexes also but inflation has to do with the value of money decreasing over time.
The supply of money is inextricably linked to inflation but an increasing money supply is not inflation, under certain circumstances you could have no, or negative inflation, with increasing money supply. If you had high demand for currency due to large volumes of exports for example.
In short the terms you want are inflation and money supply.
Disclaimer: I dropped out of an undergraduate economics degree about 2/3 through around 15 years ago. I believe this is correct but please anyone correct me if not.
The one companies refer to when justifying price hikes is called "Bullshit".
