Expert Solution
STEP 1 (INTRODUCTION)

The term "inflation rate" is defined as a rise in the economy's general price level. The nominal interest rate can be any declared rate of interest. On the other hand, the real interest rate is that interest rate adjusted for the inflation rate.

STEP 2 (EXPLANATION PART 1)

According to the quantity theory of money, every increase in the quantity of money will produce a proportional increase in the price level. Japan's money supply is growing rapidly at 5.54%. It implies that the inflation rate is 5.54%.
