Primary inflation occurs because the price of goods goes up and hence the purchasing power of the currency falls. Thus an element of primary inflation would be an increase in the petrol price. Secondary inflation is where manufacturers and retailers have to put up their prices because their costs have increased as a result of the petrol price rise. Obviously secondary inflationary effects can take months or even years to work their way through the economy.
