What is the difference between deflation and falling inflation?

Deflation is the state of an economy where prices are falling, representing a rise in the real value of money over time. If inflation is falling that means that the rate at which prices increase is reducing as time progresses. In short, deflation is a negative inflation figure as opposed to a decreasing inflation figure.
