Hi there, could you remind me what is meant by incremental inflation rates mentioned in the latest report? (Q1, part b comment)

He could actual mean several things, but without seeing the question (because it has not been published) it is impossible to be certain. What he is probably referring to is this: Suppose a flow has a current price of 100 per year. Suppose inflation is 5% in the first year and 6% in the second year. Then the actual cash flow at time 1 will be 100 x 1.05 = 105 The actual cash flow at time 2 will be 100 x 1.05 x 1.06 = 111.3
