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.
