Explanation:

A mis-match between demand and supply pulls up prices. Either the demand increases over the same level of supply, or the supply decreases with the same level of demand and thus the situation of demand-pull inflation arise. This was a Keynesian idea. The Keynesian School suggests cuts in spending as the way of tackling excess demand mainly by increasing taxes and reducing government expenditure.

In practice, the governments keep tracking the demand-supply matrix to check such inflation. At times, the goods in short supply are imported, interest on loans increased, wages revised, depending upon the situation.
