Question : 13

The Real Rate of Interest is equal to the Nominal Interest Rate minus inflation. Consider the following statements:

  1. Real Interest Rate must be positive to encourage savings and reduce consumption
  2. Real Interest Rate must be negative to encourage savings and reduce consumption
  3. Real interest rate is always positive
  4. Inflation rate in the market may be negative
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a) (iii) only

b) (i) & (iii) only

c) (i) only

d) (i) & (iv) only

Answer: (d)

Nominal Interest Rate (Deposit Rate) = Inflation + Real Interest Rate

If inflation is 5% and banks offer a deposit rate of 5% then nobody will deposit money in banks as whatever banks are offering will be eaten away by inflation. People deposit money in banks to earn something and this is possible only when the real interest rate is positive.

So, if inflation is 5% and banks are offering a deposit rate of 7% then the real interest rate will be 2%.

This means the depositors are actually/really getting a 2% return.

When the real interest rate is positive then it leads to people saving (depositing) money in banks, and somewhat reduction in their consumption.

When inflation increases a lot and banks do not increase their deposit rate then the real interest rate may turn negative. Inflation in the economy may be negative.

So, (i) & (iv) statements are true.
