hints :

  • inflation increases the nominal amount of tax on added value, good for countries balance sheets
  • inflation decreases the real value of sovereign debts
  • a company will never lower its prices as long as sales do not plunge
  • energy actors only look at natural gas prices when it raises, never when it comes down

you could add your own items to the list, it's a long one.
