what the bank of canada tries to do

mr. melkonian

remember the business cycle?

expected ups and downs of the economy

When economy is doing well...

  • people borrow money for a house/car/big ticket item
  • business borrow to expand
  • chartered banks will give money to people with good credit scores

but then there's inflation...

so.... the bank's role?

party pooper...

raise interest rates, restrain borrowing, slow growth of money supply

but they just want to slow it down

not completely stop it-or we get recession

Economy is doing poorly...

  • less production, consumption, and investment
  • higher unemployment

bank will try to increase spending

by lowering the interest rate-people want to borrow money

curbs recessions, low interest, easily available credit

tight money

restrain economy in times of expansion, higher interest rates, tougher on credit

role of interest rates

dollar value is low-investors want in

consequently interest is also high at this point

government budget affected too

more money to spend on interest debt, less on other stuff

interest rates affect 3 groups of people

consumers, business, government

supply of loanable funds

individuals, businesses, chartered banks

individuals

businesses

same as individuals-how much in their bank account

banks

want to suppl all the money when interest is high
