Answer:

Generally, those who benefit from high inflation are people who have borrowed money (debtors) or who have fixed incomes, such as pensioners and those on welfare benefits. Debtors benefit because they can pay back their loans with cheaper money than they borrowed. Those on fixed incomes benefit because their income goes further in buying power.
