1) Higher interest rates = less demand for credit and more of peoples income going to mortgages
2) Less credit and disposable income available means less spending
3) Less spending = lower pressure on prices and reduced inflation - as less stuff is being produced (and stuff used to produce it) and less bought in shops and spent on services.
Although if inflation is due to VAT and increase in raw materials from abroad as now I am not sure how the above helps....?!!
I am emigrating :cool::rotfl:
Another part of this "everything grows in a straight line" theory is that by nudging up interest rates, foreign investors are more likely to invest in your currency. This pushes up the exchange rate and reduces the inflationary pressures that exist from outside the country - a form of import controls by the back door. The flip side is that it increases the cost of exports. So although inflationary pressures may be reduced on one hand, you help to create more unemployment on the other. You also cause public spending to increase (more dole money). Of course, if someone subscribes to the theory that the working class should sleep in tents and beg in shop doorways, then this can reduce the spending on them. I dare a politician to say "Let them eat cake". (I thought eating cake didn't sound too bad until I realised it was a reference to animal dung).0 -
