• Investment and long term economic growth is discouraged. This is because of the uncertainty and confusion that is more likely to occur during periods of high prices of goods and services.

• An economy can be rendered noncompetitive. This is particularly important for countries in the Euro-zone because they can‘t devalue to restore competitiveness.

• Menu costs of changing prices lists. Not so significant with modern technology
