High inflation combined with weak growth and high unemployment.
Stagflation is the painful mix of high inflation, weak or no economic growth and rising unemployment. It's hard to fight: raising rates to slow inflation can make the slowdown worse.
Many countries went through stagflation in the 1970s, after oil price shocks.
Stagflation is tough for both stocks and bonds at the same time, which is why investors watch for it when inflation stays high while growth weakens.
