What happens after an economy overheats? Spending keeps climbing, prices follow, and at some point borrowing itself becomes the trigger for the next phase of the cycle. Tracing that chain — from rising expenditure to inflation to the central bank’s response — is essential for anyone trying to read where an economy stands at a given moment.

This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy walks participants through the full mechanism: how expansion turns into inflation, how rising debt costs slow borrowing and spending, how that slowdown can tip into recession, and how central banks step in to restore balance. The goal is a practical, cause-and-effect understanding of inflation that participants can apply well beyond the classroom.
