- Rising administered prices Prices of certain goods and services (like MSPs, fuel prices, utility tariffs) are set or influenced by the government. Increases in these directly contribute to inflation. 2. Rising oil prices While international oil prices are external, the domestic price of fuel is significantly impacted by government taxes (excise duties, VAT), which are direct policy decisions affecting inflation. 3. Pressure of growing population While population growth itself is a demographic factor, the government's ability to manage the resulting increase in demand through appropriate supply-side measures, infrastructure development, and fiscal/monetary policies determines whether this pressure translates into significant inflation. The government is responsible for managing the economy to mitigate inflationary pressures from such factors. 4.
