The conclusion is to buy now.

Explanation:

The reason is that inflation increaes in the future which is prominent as the country is issuing government securities to finance its operations will limit the supply of the money in the market. This limitation of money will increase the inflation in the country. So it is better to buy a product which is cheap today rather than buying a product with a higher price in future (Inflated Price).
