Explain the roles of monetary and fiscal policy in causing and ending hyperinflation.

Hyperinflation occurs when the prices of goods and services increases very rapidly. This situation is stirred up when the federal government in a country prints more money in order to finance their fiscal budget, this leads to increase in price coupled with inflation, this is as a result of increase in the supply of money.

The government is supposed to secure the supply of money in order to reduce inflation instead of printing more money. Consumers that understands what this means anticipates increase in price, this makes them buy more before the eventual increase in price.

Note that during hyperinflation debtors benefits, because their debt becomes worthless due to increase in price.
