Inflation is certainly not always bad for economy, in fact a moderate level of inflation matching to it's growth rate is good for the country. Moderate inflation suggest demand in the system while no inflation or deflation suggest demand collapse which is much more dangerous than Inflation.

For Instance US inflation is 1.5 to 2% while it's growth is 2-3%. This equation is ok. A Country having an inflation equal to it's growth rate is not bad though it is always preffered to have lower inflation and high growth rate. But it is difficult to achieve on a continuous basis.

Reserve banks all over the world prefer and try hard to have moderate inflation and would worry if there is a situation of deflation. But too high inflation will make the currency of the country very weak against the major global currencies and will bring the economy to it's knees, like what happened in case of Zimbabwe.

Is near zero level inflation is bad?

Though a Zero inflation is practically very difficult to achieve, very low levels of inflation are actually bad for the economy. Inflation determines the increase in prices of goods and services in a country's economy year on year. A very low or zero inflation means a very low level of growth in prices for goods and services which in turn implies that the economic growth in the country is also very poor. In a growing or flourishing economy the prices of goods and services increase in a steady and consistent manner year on year. This means the country's economy is growing steadily. Inflation rates of around 5-6% are considered ideal for countries. A very low inflation is bad for the economy and at the same time a double digit inflation is also very bad for the economy.
