Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks which factor did not contribute to holding down inflation in the 1990s. Options A, B, and D all contributed to keeping inflation low. Imported goods can lead to lower prices, the rise of huge discount retailers can create price competition, and efforts to raise efficiency and productivity can lead to cost savings that are passed on to consumers. However, rising exports would not have a direct impact on inflation, as they relate to the production and sale of goods overseas rather than within the country.
