I am playing a GC as Austria and I have been experiencing high inflation for the last 50 years (29%).

I really don't know how to handle it, everything is costing me too much.

I read that I shoul put the treasury bar to the top left, so I did it (having -5 ducats each month), but all that happened is inflation +1% (to 30%).

What can I do?
 
At level 5 of infrastructure, you can promote governers. They bring inflation down 1% each. Also, you can go bankrupt- that decreaces inflation. And there is random event that brings inflation down 35%. If you're lucky, you can get it.
But try to keep inflation low, don't use so much money of your montly income. Pulling the bar left can only hold inflation, but doesn't decrease it.
 
NB: Inflation will go up after bankrupcy with the 1.08 patch. Countries that can't back up their notes find their currency devalued!

Does anybody know if you promote more governers than you need to eliminate the current amount of inflation (say, appointed 10 gov'ners when your inflation is at 8%), will that give you a buffer zone against future inflation? Or do the extra appointments just do nothing?
 
Methinks that extra governes do nothing. Not sure though, but best is to keep some provinces without governors. Just in case that inflation goes up again.
 
Gasp!!! Inflation is killing me, I have not drawn on my monthly income for over 20 years, yet I am still getting an average of a half percent inflation per year. Admitting, I have about 11 gold producing provinces, having annexed the aztecs and incas. I know the way to reduce inflation is appoint governors, but it's only a temp fix. For a 300 year compign, I am gonna have to appoint over 120 governors to keep inflation manageable, I don't think I will have that many provinces. Other than, going bankrupt, is there a way to stem the tide of riseing inflation. I don't think handing over my gold producing provinces to AI will help. Damn, I could really use Greenspan as my economic advisor.
 
I've never had a really big problem (just a sortakinda big problem) with inflation. I could never really figure out just where to set my monthly income, but after lots of experimenting I decided that (as long as it didn't make income less than -.01 ducat/month) I would keep it to where my inflation increase per year would be 0.15%. This way it didn't hurt so much to pull the slider up to maximum when unpleasant things (such as Poland and France and two of the Khanates declaring war on me as Brandenburg) occurred.
