general inflation and specific inflation?

The general rate of inflation is the overall, average, level of inflation in the country.

Just because the average rate of inflation is (say) 2% does not mean that each individual expense or our selling prices, all inflate at exactly 2%. Some may inflate more and some may inflate less. The specific rate of inflation for each expense is the actual rate at which that expense is inflating.
