What is inflation?
situation in which there is sustained , excessive, and general increase in price levels. that means"too much money chasing after too few goods"
Types
Wage/Demand Pull: supply of products goes down . this causes demand of products to go up. this cause DP inflatio
Cost Push: cost of production goes up. this causes final prices of goods to go up too. this cause CP inflation
Oligopolistic/administered: when companies decide to increase price to get more profit margin
sectorial: it is like. if price of oil increases the aviation and transport sector will also be affected. this inflation is cause dby increase of prices for any particular sector.
Fiscal: when there is excessive govt: spending
Causes:
1- govt spending excess of money
2- rise in production cost (when labor become expensive)
3- federal taxes put on consumer products
4- international lending and national debts
5- faster economics growth in other countries
6- depreciation of exchange rate
Effects:
effects on time value of money (interst rates affected)
impact on treasury of nation
decrease in purchasing power of rupee
change allocation of income (between lenders and borrowers)
making of speculation by some and getting advantage.
Monetary policy
it attempts to stabilize the economy by controlling the interest rates and money supply.
Expansionary: when govt decrease interest rates. as a result money supply in the market is increased . this helps to combat unemployment
Contractionary:when govt increase interest rates. as a result money supply in the market is decreased . this helps to combat inflation
Tools:
open market operations (selling buying bonds etc)
reserve requirement (FOR BANKS)
discount window
Fiscal policy
use of govt spending and revenue collection to influence economy
expansionary: when spending more than taxation (larger budget deficit)
contractionary: when spending less than taxation (larger budget surplus)
neutral: when spending equal to taxation
instruments/tools:
govt spending and taxation
Govt spending or Expenditure is funded by
taxation
seignorage
borrowing money from population
consumption of fiscal reserves
sale of assets
taxation: it transfer of assets from people to govt.
monetarization of deficit: to finance deficit by borrowing from central bank
Role of SBP
