8. Promotion of private enterprise

Q2: Although both the GDP deflator and the CPI are measures of the price level, the two do not necessarily move together all the time. In 2005, the annual GDP deflator inflation was 2.7% while the CPI inflation was 3.4%. The rise in oil price increased the price of goods consumed relative to the price of goods produced in the US.
